Sculpey® Terra Cotta Polymer Clay for All Skill Levels - 1 Pound

Versatile and Creative Clay for Everyone

Original Sculpey, recognized as America’s pioneering oven bake clay, has been cherished by generations of children, parents, and educators. This soft and pliable medium is easy to mold, making it an excellent choice for beginners and young sculptors. For those just starting their sculpting journey, Sculpey serves as a fantastic practice material before advancing to more professional clays, such as Super Sculpey.

As a versatile medium, polymer clay caters to crafters of all ages. It is ideal for a variety of projects including modeling, sculpting, DIY crafts, and school assignments. One of its key features is that it conforms to safety guidelines set by ASTM D-4236 and EN 71, assuring users of its non-toxic nature. This means it’s safe to use in any home kitchen environment. To create, simply mold your Sculpey design and bake it in a regular or toaster oven at 275 °F for approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of your piece. Once baked, your creation can be sanded, drilled, carved, and painted with water-based acrylic paints.

A significant advantage of this oven bake clay is that it does not dry out before baking. This quality allows you to take your time with your projects without the pressure to finish quickly, a common issue with air-dry clays. This flexibility encourages exploration and creativity at a comfortable pace.

Moreover, Sculpey is perfect for various events such as kids' parties, school projects, and family creative time. It’s a delightful way to engage children’s imaginations and encourage them to step away from screens. Available in three fundamental colors—White, Terra Cotta, and Granite—this clay allows for additional creativity after baking, as you can paint and embellish your creations.

A standout characteristic of Sculpey is that it remains soft and workable until it is baked, dampening concerns about it hardening prematurely. Because it doesn’t require a kiln, this clay provides an accessible crafting experience; simply store any unused portions for later use without them going to waste.

In educational settings, Sculpey presents an affordable avenue for children to unleash their creative potential. Not only does it foster artistic expression, but it also encourages hands-on learning, making it an ideal material for teachers looking to engage their students.

Furthermore, transforming your baked creation is a fun process. After the clay hardens, you can further refine it through sanding, drilling, carving, or adding colorful finishes with water-based acrylic paints. This allows for personalization and intricate detailing that can elevate a simple project to a stunning work of art.

Sculpey is made in the USA, ensuring high quality. It adheres to ASTM D-4236 and EN 71 AP safety standards, affirming its non-toxic nature. This makes it suitable for artists and creators of all ages, allowing everyone to enjoy the rich world of polymer clay crafting.
