But they do have a “pro” product line, which is essentially selling black, white and gray clay in larger badges. Fimo is mostly known for its colorful variants and isn’t really considered a “professional clay” (at least in Germany, where I live). Super Sculpey Firm is my personal go-to clay for basic figures.Īnother clay around this firmness is Fimo. ![]() Super Sculpey comes in a few kinds, and among them “Firm”. Sculpey themselves has a variety of sub brands, but “Super Sculpey” is their “Pro” clay. This is an established clay by the brand “Sculpey”. Most people who have searched for polymer clay will have stumbled over the brand name “Super Sculpey”. I think, from my experience, that a firmer clay is easier to use for beginners. People tell “not to use clay XYZ”, when to the next video tells you “to use clay XYZ”.įret not: I’m not leaving you in the dark of my personal opinion. ![]() I have watched a lot “sculpting for beginners” videos before I started sculpting. From my experience that can be different from person to person. The answer is as difficult as it is easy: everyone will have preferences.

So you can’t do that at home, but need to find a service to do so for you. Also: you will have to bake/burn it with much higher temperatures (around 2000☌elsius). You will face the same problem with ceramic clay. It can dry up or get too wet and starts to deform, or worse, starts to mold. But if you’re working on a project for several weeks, it’s a difficult task to keep it moist for sculpting. This is can be a problem if the figure is half sculpted and needs refining.Īir drying clay is usually a bit cheaper than polymer clay. They need to be “conditioned” (kneaded) to return them to their soft state. Some clays get a different texture if they are put aside for a long time. Theoretically because old clay will get crumbly (several years old clay) with time. Polymer clay has the advantage that you can theoretically work on it for an infinite time, since it won’t dry by air. This kind of clay will harden up in an oven when baked (often at around 130° Celsius). First, I sculpt figures with Polymer Clay.
