Sculpey Fun Express Original White, Non Toxic, Polymer Clay, Oven Bake Clay, 8 pounds Great for Modeling, Sculpting, Holiday, DIY and School Projects. Great for All Skill Levels.

I manage a vet hospital and we make clients paw prints when they say goodbye to their pets. We buy this on a regular basis. Wouldn’t ever use another brand. It’s easy to use and it comes always soft and fresh. Never hard.

I homeschool, and this is something my kids love! We use it for all types of projects, history we made replicas of Egyptian artifacts, we made geographical landscapes, biomes, fake fossils, pottery, jewelry. We have used it for all different projects. We even did a science experiment and tested times and temperatures for the best ways to cook the clay. It’s soft enough for my youngest to use and it doesn’t crack as long as you work it well and get it warmed up. We color it prior to cooking by mixing colors such as, alcohol ink, paint, and mica powder. Or we paint it after baking with just acrylic paint. And we’ve had great results, sealing it with any polymer sealants. I love the white bulk box because it gives my kids the opportunity to play with the colors and their imagination and it’s cheaper. Especially if you get it on sale. It’s fun and easy to use!

I am in love with this clay. I think it is a bit too finicky for a beginner, and it has a learning curve all its own (like all clays) but once you get acclimated to it you can make some really dope stuff. I used to get irritated at the fragility of the pieces made with it, but then I read about the tempering hack and now I can say I have made a bust of one of my characters that has fallen off the top shelf of my desk three times and not broken or cracked one bit. If you're having trouble with the durability of your pieces, immediately submerge them in very cold water out of the oven and they ought to be more sturdy. Fingerprints in the clay can just be buffed off after baking. If you plan on painting this clay after baking, I'd just like to forewarn you that it is very difficult to get an even, streak-free color, and it's probably for the best to just buy the pre-colored bricks and go from there.

Perfect for sculpting

I bought this 8 lb box because it was the same price as the one I bought in the early 90s. I think it was $40. I had it for years until I made various things with it. This box is sitting in my closet right now. It will be pliable until you chuck it in the oven. Use metal wire for a skeleton. It stinks up the house when baking it. Like I said it will last a long time.

The clay comes out a bit wet, but very soft and nice to work with. I have not tried this for molds yet.

Very soft and moldable Baking is fast I love working with this clay ! Well worth the money for as much as you can make

I bought the clay to make Christmas gifts this year. I had alot of fun making them! I think if I want to have the art colored, I think I'll buy the clay that's already colored. maybe it's me, but I didn't like how it looked when I painted it so I used watercolor which was cool on some of them but then I just ended up using permanent markers. the time the art stays in the oven depends how big it is. I think most of them stayed in for 40 45 mins at 250-275 degrees.

Conditioning it is very easy. Not suitable for using in moulds unless I put it in the fridge to firm up first otherwise it distorts the clay when I try to get it out of the mould. Perfect for sculpting small items. The price is also excellent.
