I would ask why you want to preserve the work when it was made with a
non-permanent medium? The whole point of that clay is that it NEVER, EVER dries
out....What about making a mold of the work and doing a plaster casting from it?
YOu could paint it with that flexible mold making stuff and then use plaster to
cast the final work.

Good Luck!
