★ Art Shed Staff Tip

Polymer clay and air dry clay are not the same thing. Polymer clay is baked in a home oven and stays strong and waterproof. Air dry clay hardens on its own but is not waterproof, so seal it if it will hold water or live outside.

Shop clay and sculpting supplies from brands including Mont Marte, with more brands landing as the sale rolls on.

Questions About Clay & Sculpting

What is the difference between polymer clay and air dry clay?

Polymer clay is a PVC based clay that is baked in a home oven to harden, giving a strong, durable, waterproof finish ideal for jewellery and charms. Air dry clay hardens on its own at room temperature, needs no oven, and is great for pots, dishes and sculptures, but it should be sealed to protect it from water.

Do I need a kiln to make pottery at home?

No. Air dry clay and polymer clay let you make pots, dishes, figurines and jewellery at home without a kiln. Traditional ceramic clay does need firing in a kiln.

What tools do I need for sculpting clay?

A basic set of loop tools, ribbon tools, wooden modelling tools and a needle tool will cover most sculpting. Pottery and sculpture tool sets bundle these together, and cutters and hole punches are handy for polymer clay jewellery.

Is clay a good gift for teenagers?

Yes. Polymer clay jewellery, charms and mini sculptures are hugely popular with teens, and clay is a relaxing, screen-free hobby. A polymer clay set with a few tools is an easy, exciting gift.
