What is Polymer Clay?
Polymer Clay is synthetic clay, made from polyvinyl chloride. This clay remains soft for an indefinite period, until it is cured by heat.  There are different brands of polymer clay, that each has unique characteristics.  Some are softer, some are stiffer, and some bake (or cure) at higher or lower temperatures.  Each brand comes in a wide variety of colors.  When soft it can be molded into a variety of shapes.  After baking the clay can be sanded, buffed and polished or carved.  The colors remain consistent throughout the piece.  Just about anything can be created with polymer clay, all it takes is a little imagination.
