What is polimer clay?

Do you know what polymer clay is?

Until recently, I did not know what this material really is, how to work with it, and even more so, I did not know that it is possible to create wonderful things with my own hands with the help of this clay.

Polymer clay is (PVC) modeling clay. It looks like plasticine. It can be purchased in a wide variety of colors, but often, if you buy only, for example, white polymer clay, you can add a variety of colors to it (for example, acrylic) and get the shade you want on your own.

Both jewelry and decorative cups, various dishes, etc. are made from polymer clay.

Once the desired object is created, the polymer clay is baked in a designated oven (not in a microwave oven) to harden.

There are different types of polymer clay and it will also depend on how long the polymer clay will have to be kept in the oven.

When working with polymer clay, it is possible to mix all kinds of colors in your sarpa and get amazing results. The clay must be kneaded by hand and rolled. It is definitely easier to do it with a pasta machine (it will no longer be used for making pasta), which will help to avoid air bubbles in the polymer clay, as well as more successfully blend the colors, which will definitely be more difficult to do by hand. In addition, with the pasta machine it is possible to roll out the mass in different sizes and get it flat and in one size quite easily.

Polymer clay is a fairly flexible material, however, it can break if it is deformed too much.
