Polymer Clay

Polymer clay is a versatile, exciting medium. It is a manmade, plastic material and consists of PVC particles and pigments suspended in a plasticizer.  This gives the clay is maleable consistency. Baking the clay evaporates the plasticizer and causes the particles to fuse together into a stable material (clay hardens).

Polymer clay is fantastic as it doesn’t air dry like other clays (it must be baked) so it allow for much more flexibility.  Plus you can even bake it in your home oven! 

You can achieve things so many things with polymer clay that are not possible with other mediums and it is very cost effective to set up - you do not need a lot of tools and equipment. 

Be warned though, polymer clay is very addictive!!
