Polymer Clay

Polymer Clay

A type of modelling clay that can be hardened, polymer clay is based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It usually doesn’t contain any clay minerals, but like mineral clay, dry particles are wetted with a liquid until they develop gel-like working qualities.

Then, just like with mineral clay, the part is baked to a firm, giving it the nickname “clay.” Typically used to create arts and crafts items, polymer clay is also employed commercially to create decorative pieces. Major museums now house polymer clay-based artwork.
