🙋🏼♀️Hello, my name is Dee I have been a professional clay artist for the last 25 years and I helped create several the Polymer clay item that are used today. I want to start by saying that I love your video, I was very informative. However, I would like to add a few bits of info to what you said. First, polymer clay CAN be over baked, specifically white or Translucent clays are the worst culprits. They will turn brown and burn. Tenting your baking clay is a good idea for a couple reasons. First, it helps keep colors like white from burning especially when using small toaster ovens. Second,tenting also helps trap the fumes that come from the clay while its baking. You mentioned cleaning clay with alcohol, but you can also clean lint or color smudges from unbaked or baked clay with acetone (nail polish remover). You can also sand any lint pieces off after the item is baked. I noticed that you were storming your clay in plastic boxes which is fine but only with certain plastics. There are some plastics that will melt if they come into contact with polymer clay. You mention glazing your finished clay pieces but you never mentioned what kind of glazes to use. This is so important to mention because most of the glazes that come in a spray can will make your clay pieces become sticky and soft over time. Also, NEVER use clear nail polish to glaze clay pieces. It contains acetone and will also cause the clay to break down and become sticky over time. Water based glazes work best on polymer clay pieces. Burning is a great way to use cutters but if you still find that the clay wants to stick to the cutters you can dip them in a little baby power or cornstarch before using them then use a soft paint brush to dust the excess of of your clay before baking. Also, tiles are wonderful to work on because you can bake your items right on them in the oven, preventing any distortion to your creation. I have been working with polymer clay for a very long time and have done extensive research on everything about it and what does and doesn’t work with it. I’m sure you know much more than you could fit into this video. If you would ever like to talk clay with me I’m always up for trading info and ideas. I hope you or your viewers can make use of any of the information I’ve mentioned. GREAT VIDEO😁👍 I look forward to seeing some of your other videos. I wish you all the best, Dee😊
Hi Dee! Thank you so much for your comment - so much helpful information in here! You are right, I could’ve sat there all day going into more detail and my video would have been hours long - I could talk about clay all day! 😂 We have made a few videos since this one that go into more detail about some of the things you mentioned. I really appreciate the time you took to write this comment and I’m sure others will learn from the awesome tips you’ve shared! ❤️
Thank you for the extra tips Dee! I’m just starting to watch videos to learn more. I’ve made a few wrong purchases so learning more before I totally dive in.
I am new to clay thing, i tried baking my clay sample post preheat but 4 samples got burnt and 2 pieces were like elastic. What could be the reason any suggestions will really help me.
Just got back into clay after about 10 years, just wanted to say thank you for this video, its well put together without nonsense filler just to stretch the video out.
I use my gloss tiles for the whole process. I run my clay through machine, lay it down on my clean gloss tile, put a piece of baking paper over it, roll it down to adhere the clay to the tile, remove paper, cut shape, peel off excess clay and when my tile is full to the brim of cut pieces, I pop it in the oven. No transferring the pieces or using a blade to remove them and then re-position on another tray. Because the clay is stuck down, there's never any curling, etc...The tile can handle high heat. The home oven is nuthin :) You can use smaller tiles for separate shapes/colours if you want. I've never had to adjust the oven temp due to the tile holding heat. Hope this helps
Thank you for this! I assumed that's what she was going to say when she talked about the gloss tile but then I didn't hear her mention actually putting it in the oven so I wasn't sure. I'm new to all of this and don't want to mess up!
Thats soooo helpful because my daughter gets it messed when transfering things from place to place as it loses shape… like a big beautiful raibbow she made. I love the idea of puting the tile directly as it can handle hight temp!!!
This may be a little TMI but when I’m planning to make something I usually take the colors I’m going to use and put them in my pockets or if I don’t have pockets that day I stick them in my bra (in baggies) and go about whatever I need to do for a half hour or so… when I’m ready to play with clay it’s all warmed up and much easier to condition and work with. Comes in handy and saves my hands and wrists from being overworked 😁

Genial. Me gusta tu método. Estoy leyendo, viendo vídeos y documentándome para empezar. He ido comprando materiales y herramientas hace 8 meses. Me falta el horno.. pero ya casi comienzo
Take your buffers off your pasta roller… it’s easy to do with pliers and makes the machine SUPER easy to (keep) clean by giving you full access to cleaning the rollers at the back and behind. The buffers aren’t needed or necessary for the machine to work at all and the benefits for not having them on is life changing for keeping your clay clean! 🤗🤗🤗 There’s a YT video showing you how easy it is to do if you search (tho I did get my hubby to do the first one ‘cos I was scared but I needn’t have been!)
Great video full of helpful tips and very informative. One thing to consider is that background music is very distracting and is not required. Thanks for all the great tips.
Testing your oven is a must! I had a huge issue with my pieces breaking when I first started. After testing my oven I found it was only getting up to 261 degrees when I had it set at 275.
Do you use a separate oven or your everyday kitchen oven? I'm new to this world and just purchased a bunch of Sculpey Premo and Fimo and not sure if I should used my oven or buy a separate little one. Helllllppppp
@@Harlow_Khmerwe have always just used our normal ovens, but I know other clayers that have a seperate oven. It’s totally up to you but both will work 😊
@@myclayco@myclayco Thnx for the info! I was randomly telling my mother in law about how I want to try making a few things for the first time but didn't want to waste money on a little oven and she said she has a brand new one to give me because she won't use it!!
I use a cheap electric roaster to bake my clay. Works perfect, I can control the temp and it doesn't stink up the house. This is a great video. These are things you need to know when you start out. Sometimes even after you've been using clay a while.
It's more a roaster oven. I had trouble with toaster ovens burning the clay. This is like an electric frying pan with a lid but deeper. Taller. It's like a box with a lid. I don't set things right on the bottom but put them on tiles like you use. I used to make Lasagna in this oven. Then I repurposed it for clay. I bake it on the porch so the fumes don't come in the house. I have asthma , so I have to be careful. Years ago it was only about 25 dollars. I checked and its about 59 dollars now on amazon. You make such cute pieces. Again, great video. :-)
In all the years I have worked with clay I have never once had it too soft out of the package. LOL. It was always hard and brutal. I mostly used fimo so that's probably why. Our store had mostly fimo and very little sculpty display.
Love your video! 1:441:441:46 I’m a glass artist and am looking forward to integrating the clay and glass. Your tips are very helpful and I admire your art pieces.
The bigger square ones we use are 30x30cm but we use a lot of different shapes and sizes. We do use these bigger size ones most often because they give you plenty of room to work 😊
Such an informative video!! 👏 Thank you 🙏 I do have a question about making larger items with polymer clay…eg. Bowls to keep jewellery and trinkets in, large key rings, art printed on polymer clay, clay figurines, mini 3D cityscapes,, ornaments etc.. Is there a rule or guide around creating pieces with polymer clay from a strength point of view? How strong would they be? 😊🙏
Thanks so much 🥰 yes, each polymer clay has their own baking instructions but if you take Sculpey for example, theirs is 30 minutes per 6mm thickness. I don’t do much modelling but do make a lot of trinket dishes. Because they are always less than 6mm I just stick to my usual 30-40 minutes baking time. If you are ever unsure, bake it longer rather than shorter. So long as your oven temperature is right you won’t overbake it if you leave it in for a bit of extra time 😊
I’m just starting out and came across your video. Lots of great information so very glad I got to watch it. I’m planning on binge watching more of your videos. Thanks. A new subscriber here.
Our pleasure! Hmmm it is normally one of two things - the temp is too high or the clay is too close to the element (if it’s exposed). Have you got an oven thermometer? Are you using a normal oven or toaster oven?
This is so helpful. I got a stack of clay all the tools pasta maker I think everything you need to get started then went to start and got to anxious to start so I packed it all up into a container and put it under my art table. This is giving me a bit more confidence to try again. Also does the clay have an expiry I think I may have opened one possibly two of the packets. I’d love any advice and I am subscribed. And it’s also great to see more Ozzy’s on YT. cheers 🇦🇺
So glad you found it helpful ☺️ I totally understand, I actually also felt the same way when I started! So funny how things like that can make us nervous. Go watch our marble slab video - it’s an older video but a simple technique with great results and think it will help give you some confidence to jump in 😊 I’ve had clay for years and years that is still fine, just make sure you store it in a sealed container or bag and in a cool place. If you have any questions or need any help you are welcome to email us on DM us on our socials 😊
@@myclayco thank you so very much. If you don’t mind I will DM you in a day or so. I do have a project in mind I just don’t know if it’s possible. I’ll look through your older videos and see if you’ve covered it first. Thank you ever so kindly for your help and reply. Have a great day and enjoy making your beautiful art work. Cheers 🇦🇺
Great video! I picked up a few extra tips! I’ve only had to tent my pieces with foil if they were too close to the heating element. When I first started working with PC I found a small, used toaster oven online with dials for the temp so I could easily and quickly adjust the temperature if need be. It was wide, but rather short. It was much easier to foil tent than to constantly stare at the thermometers, predict how quickly the temp may rise, and adjust accordingly to prevent burning my pieces 😅 Now I’m working with one that can cook a medium sized turkey so I don’t have to tent them unless they’re very tall or I’m using both racks.
Thank you, glad you picked up some tips! Oh that would make sense that you need to tent it. A whole Turkey?! You can fit so many clay creations in there! 🥳
Your videos are great. You have a great personality for teaching. Thank you! I do have a question. I bought a pasta roller at either Michael's or Hobby Lobby. There's not a brand name on it. I think the rollers are not exactly parallel, so the clay rolls down in a crooked manner. Does anyone else have this problem with a generic pasta roller? Someone else commented in this thread that they use their KitchenAid. I might have to get that attachment.
Thank you 🥰 Oh no, how frustrating! This gets discussed a lot on polymer clay forums and the general consensus is a lot of pasta machines don’t work quite so well with clay. The only one I can really recommend is the Atlas because I have used it for years and love it 😊
I loved this video. I have been doing clay a few years but you can always learn new things even if it’s basics. Also if you don’t want to crank a pasta maker QVC sells an electric one. I love it !! And makes it soo much easier !
I’m just wondering if you sand and buff your pieces, or if you put a glaze on them. If you do sand, can you tell me, is it necessary to use so many different grits
We normally just do a brief sand with 1200 grit (you may have to do more if your cutter blades are a little dull). Putting the extra effort into sanding and buffing your pieces can definitely elevate them, same as a glaze, but buffing and glazing aren’t necessary. Just depends on the look you’re after ☺️
Thanks for sharing this! I didn't know polymer clay was flexible! Mine always seem brittle and I've actually cracked some when I tried to bend them, despite baking for the recommended time at the recommended temperature with an oven thermometer! Also, wondering if you have tips on how to stop polymer clay from cracking in the oven? I've tried making little cube-shaped figurines and they always crack in the oven. 😢
Hmmm what type of clay are you using? With the cubes, I’m wondering if the thickness of the clay is the issue. How big are the cubes? If they’re big enough, try filling them with alfoil 😊
I'm using Sculpey III. The cubes are approximately 1.5cm. Hmm, haven't tried filling them with aluminum foil as it seems harder to make them smooth but I guess I should try? 😅
If you’re using Sculpey III that’s probably why, sadly. I don’t prefer that line of clay for anything. I always end up very disappointed after spending so much time and energy on my project. I’ve really enjoyed working with Fimo. Sculpey Premo I still have an abundance of and it’s not bad at all. I like the texture of the Soufflé, but I only bought one to try and I haven’t worked with it enough to give a fair review, although it seems like most PC artists seem to really enjoy it. I’ve never tried Cernit, but I really want to! I’ve seen a lot of not-so-great reviews about the DAS Smart brand so I won’t be trying that anytime soon. My suggestion would be to pick one up of a couple brands, or watch some reviews of the different brands and use a coupon for one of those multi packs of a different brand because everything you listed sounds very classic of Sculpey III.
@@hippiechick3210 thanks for sharing! It hadn't occurred to me that it could be the clay, as I thought it had something to do with my newbie skills 😅 I hadn't thought of trying clay from other brands as this is the one that I find most often at stores around here. Will look for others! Thanks a lot!
@@artcheryl you’re welcome! Don’t be so quick to doubt yourself! Polymer clay is a very forgiving medium to work with… IF you have a a decent quality starting clay to begin with! I’m honestly surprised Sculpey III is still as readily available as it is and about the same price range overall. I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to, read, or watched anyone that actually preferred it. It seems to be the throwaway line of clay. Like to mix with clay that’s too soft, to get a very specific shade, they bought it by mistake, they let the kids play with it, it’s good scrap, or something along those lines. I’d love to meet some people who actually *do* prefer Sculpey III and pick their brains a little. Just to see what they make and what aspects they really enjoy about it. Maybe there’s some wild secret about it. I’ve only had luck when mixing it 🤷🏻♀️
I use a 20lb dumbell to bash really hard clay and then Italian made pasta roller i found at the thrift store. Does clay softener work better than mineral oil?
Good strategies! I always use clay softener - if you use too much of other products like mineral or baby oil it can mess with the polymer clay’s recipe and make it sticky and brittle 😊
I haven’t done much caning but I usually just warm it up a little and slowly reduce it a bit. I have heard of people putting a little clay softener around it and letting it sit for a bit but I’ve never tried it!
Warm them up a little and then some gentle small twisting movements, they’ll slowly become more supple. The warmth of your hands will help. Take it slow
Normally just the normal oven setting, not fan forced. It does depend on your oven though so I’d do a test without and if your piece is under baked then try the fan forced setting 😊
My pleasure! For most of our earrings we just give them a quick sand around the edges with very fine 1200 grit sandpaper. Some artists though start with a rough grit and work their way up 😊
I usually use a drop of baby oil. It smells good and conditions well. I use a dash of starch to dry clay that needs it. Starch and baby oil is pretty cheap.
Ooo interesting! I haven’t tried either of these because I’ve been worried about how it will affect the composition of the clay but may need to test it out!
Hello, thank you for the tips. My daughter and I are going to buy a few things today to give it a go. Question what about earring hooks? Do you have a video that shows or can you advise what is the best kind to buy? brand?
Our video next week is actually on putting dangle earrings together! What great timing! We are a little biased when it comes to findings because we stock a range that we have tried and tested. If you are in any polymer clay Facebook groups though you can also ask for recommendations there ☺️
Hi my name is Lisa, I haven't been working with polymer clay for very long but I love it. What I want to know and can't find any info on is how do I keep the edges of my clay from getting shredded/uneven/cracking/breaking up when I put it thru the pasta machine. I noticed when you ran a piece of clay thru your machine and were showing how if it is conditioned correctly and you fold it over that it won't crack on the fold, that piece had the same effect I'm talking about, is there a way to prevent that happening? Thank you Lisa (kickinandscreamin)
Hi Lisa! 👋 I think I know what you mean. Do you mean the clay is conditioned nicely but the edges still look rough? Normally with raggedy edges I just slice them off with a tissue blade 😊
I am brand new to this, and I haven’t started yet, but I’ve been watching your videos. I noticed in your video that there’s a little blocks of clay that you have in a plastic container. Do you cut up the clay when you get it into little blocks and put them in containers and then you just pick one out, when you want to use it how do you store your clay once you open it?
Welcome to the wonderful world of polymer clay! Yep, we store out open clay in these tubs. We normally cube it up so it’s easy to grab some and get on with our making. A lot of the clay you see in those tubs is actually scrap clay that we’ve mixed, cubed up and separated into colours 😊 we have a video on storage that includes storing clay correctly if you want to check it out ☺️
Thank you so much for this very informative video. I am about to begin my journey with polymer clay and so am cramming all the info I can on it. Total newbie, but keen to learn everything I can to enable me to do it well. Wish me luck!
Exciting! Good luck - polymer clay is such a wonderful medium, so I know you will have lots of fun creating with it! Make sure you watch our latest video on baking polymer clay as that is a crucial step to get right 😉
Really new to this. I want to make goods for crystal points, is there anything needed to add. Making mini mushrooms and wanting to give them a shimmery cap.What do I use for that? And does it need to be sealed? Can I also attach clay to the top of crystal skulls with Quartz points poking out of the clay and bake successfully?
I would use a mica powder to give your mushrooms a shimmery cap - you would need to seal them. When adding other things to clay you either need to make sure they’re securely embedded, or super glue them in afterwards 😊
Hello thanks so much for your tips! I’m very new at clay working and are currently using air dry! My question is can you use your oven that you cook food in or does it need a separate oven? Tia
Hello! My pleasure! Polymer clay is non-toxic so it can be baked in your normal oven that you cook in. Obviously you want to avoid burning your clay, but if you accidentally did you should clean your oven before cooking in it again. Some artists prefer a seperate oven but we use our normal oven 😊
Could you show more clearly how you hang your molds? That would be a wonderful process to see, thank you! Have been wondering all of the ways I can store my molds
Do you need something like an extractor hood for toxic odors with polymer clay or can it just be baked in an oven in the kitchen and does the resin also smell strong/toxic?
Polymer clay is non-toxic so you don’t need anything (just don’t burn it or you will need to clean your oven!). Before curing, resin definitely does have toxic vapours though so you need to wear safety gear and work in a well ventilated area (we recently released a video on it if you want to check it out 😊)
I'm "adding" polymer clay to my current craft, I work with cold porcelain, which I made myself for over 2 years. My main reason is the techniques I cannot reproduce whatsoever with porcelain due to blend, mix, melt or just weather... What to expect? I mean, i have a lot of practice (which doesn't make my work perfectly done or amazing) will I finally get an upgrade on my pieces in terms of more complex techniques? Cause for figures I find polymeric clay quite expensive and people often don't pay for the effort, let's not mention the material price which I will have to add to my final pricing. Any advices or comments? I'm purchasing colors and tools to start September with less Spanish heat 😂 ... Thanks
Oh exciting, I’m sure you will love it! And a lot of your tools and skills will be transferable to polymer clay. What type of pieces do you intend on making? I only know a little bit about cold porcelain but I believe it’s air dry? One great thing about polymer clay is that there’s no rush, you can take your time with details and just bake it when you’re ready ☺️
@@myclayco oh yes, air dry and water based. So everything has to be thought in advance, at least be sure of what to do and how. My earrings and other pendants, necklaces are more diluted or "mixed"... gemstone, geode, canes, ink work, many many techs are impossible or almost impossible. So, i made a hard call... my figures, most of my charms and others are mixes of clay, air dry clay and cold porcelain. For the more delicate or more technically challenging polimeric it is. Loved your video, will stay tuned cause love how u communicate and teach
I can only drop so many likes on your video, sorry, thank you :). What clay to you recommend for both structural rigidity and a bit of elasticity so it has room to bend a little* without breaking? I've heard Preemo is good, but looking for alternatives, if you wouldn't mind! Thanks :)
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰 my top pics would be Sculpey Premo, any of the Cernit polymer clays, or Fimo Professional 😊 just make sure you nail the baking, that will give it its strength and flexibility (we have a video on baking if you want to check it out 😉)
You definitely don’t need a pasta roller to start, in fact I think I was working with clay for a good year before I got a pasta machine. I would start without one and if you find you love it then think about investing in one. They are definitely worth the investment though, it makes it more enjoyable because it’s so easy to condition your clay!
Fantastic vid! Two questions: will a glass surface or Matte work as well as a glass tile? Also, how did you get the gold lines in the purple mandala trinket dish?! 😍
Thank you! A lot of polymer clay artists work on a glass surface, you will just have to transfer your pieces to a baking tray of some sort (tile can be put straight in the oven without moving your pieces). A matte surface can work, but if you are using small or imprint cutters I generally recommend a gloss one so the clay sticks to your surface, otherwise it will peel off into your cutters 😊 The gold lines on that trinket dish are done using a silkscreen and acrylic paint ☺️💕
@@myclayco thank you!! Silk screen makes sense! I use a glass surface for rolling and cutting, but you are right, I do have to transfer it to the Tile. I am going to roll and cut on the tile next time. I think that will minimize my shapes from being distorted when I try to transfer. Thanks!
I have heard from a few people in the US that some Michael’s stores have started stocking some lines of Cernit (mainly translucent, which is my favourite line of theirs!). Hopefully it becomes more readily available … we stock their whole range and ship worldwide otherwise ☺️

Thank you! I am not a fan of filler either! So this feedback makes me very happy, thank you ❤️
Agreed and same! If I had a tutorial like this 10yrs ago I probably wouldn't have put it down for so long 😅
I use my gloss tiles for the whole process. I run my clay through machine, lay it down on my clean gloss tile, put a piece of baking paper over it, roll it down to adhere the clay to the tile, remove paper, cut shape, peel off excess clay and when my tile is full to the brim of cut pieces, I pop it in the oven.

Yes, I love not having to transfer pieces too and risk misshaping them! 😊

Tremendously it helps! Thank you
Thats soooo helpful because my daughter gets it messed when transfering things from place to place as it loses shape… like a big beautiful raibbow she made. I love the idea of puting the tile directly as it can handle hight temp!!!
me too i use this and it also makes some clay look like glass on the back helps with the finishing process.

Sameeeeee
Me too 😂
I put my opened clay in sandwich bags and into my front pockets for about half an hour. That is the warmest part of your body, so it works well.
Great tip!
I love how you store your scraps!!
Thank you! We’ve tried a few different methods over the years and this one is a winner!
I use a pasta roller on my kitchen aid. It’s wonderful ❤
I have seen people do this! Such a great idea, awesome tip!
Im tempted to do it everytime 😂
Take your buffers off your pasta roller… it’s easy to do with pliers and makes the machine SUPER easy to (keep) clean by giving you full access to cleaning the rollers at the back and behind. The buffers aren’t needed or necessary for the machine to work at all and the benefits for not having them on is life changing for keeping your clay clean! 🤗🤗🤗
There’s a YT video showing you how easy it is to do if you search (tho I did get my hubby to do the first one ‘cos I was scared but I needn’t have been!)
Good tip, thank you! 😊 I will look into it!

Thanks you, I thought it would be good to do a video with some of the lesser known tips! Yes, toaster ovens are a great option, good tip! 😊
It's more a roaster oven. I had trouble with toaster ovens burning the clay. This is like an electric frying pan with a lid but deeper. Taller. It's like a box with a lid. I don't set things right on the bottom but put them on tiles like you use. I used to make Lasagna in this oven. Then I repurposed it for clay. I bake it on the porch so the fumes don't come in the house. I have asthma , so I have to be careful. Years ago it was only about 25 dollars. I checked and its about 59 dollars now on amazon. You make such cute pieces. Again, great video. :-)
@@ownsacatI love how inventive polymer clay artists are, so cool that you’ve repurposed it this way! Thank you 🥰
Thank you for all the USEFUL information. I am just getting into polymer clay and this video is going to be SO helpful.
Thank you so much!! 🥰
In all the years I have worked with clay I have never once had it too soft out of the package. LOL. It was always hard and brutal. I mostly used fimo so that's probably why. Our store had mostly fimo and very little sculpty display.
Oh interesting! I have only worked with Sculpey and Cernit but I actually bought some Fimo to try so I am interested to see how it compares!
I had soft clay, from Amazon kit, it was so soft it almost melted in my hand
My mom got me some polymer clay for christmas. I'm so excited to use it. I already have some ideas
Oh yay! I’m sure you are going to love it! ❤️
Thank you so much for all the great information. I am just starting out with PC and your video was very helpful!!

What are the exact measurements of the glossy tiles you use in video?
New Subscriber
The bigger square ones we use are 30x30cm but we use a lot of different shapes and sizes. We do use these bigger size ones most often because they give you plenty of room to work 😊
Such an informative video!! 👏 Thank you 🙏
I do have a question about making larger items with polymer clay…eg. Bowls to keep jewellery and trinkets in, large key rings, art printed on polymer clay, clay figurines, mini 3D cityscapes,, ornaments etc.. Is there a rule or guide around creating pieces with polymer clay from a strength point of view? How strong would they be? 😊🙏
Thanks so much 🥰 yes, each polymer clay has their own baking instructions but if you take Sculpey for example, theirs is 30 minutes per 6mm thickness. I don’t do much modelling but do make a lot of trinket dishes. Because they are always less than 6mm I just stick to my usual 30-40 minutes baking time. If you are ever unsure, bake it longer rather than shorter. So long as your oven temperature is right you won’t overbake it if you leave it in for a bit of extra time 😊
Thank-you, I wanted to start incorporating polymer clay into my jewelry and this video taught me SO much!
You are so welcome! Glad you found it helpful! 😊
Your clay collection is impeccable! ❤

hi thank you for your tutorials. Please advise me why my white polymer clay goes yellow when baked. thank you and regards
Our pleasure! Hmmm it is normally one of two things - the temp is too high or the clay is too close to the element (if it’s exposed). Have you got an oven thermometer? Are you using a normal oven or toaster oven?
I got all the information that I need!!!!!! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH , love u ❤❤❤
You are very welcome! We are so happy to help ☺️💖
@@myclayco💖💖
This is so helpful. I got a stack of clay all the tools pasta maker I think everything you need to get started then went to start and got to anxious to start so I packed it all up into a container and put it under my art table.
This is giving me a bit more confidence to try again. Also does the clay have an expiry I think I may have opened one possibly two of the packets. I’d love any advice and I am subscribed. And it’s also great to see more Ozzy’s on YT. cheers 🇦🇺
So glad you found it helpful ☺️ I totally understand, I actually also felt the same way when I started! So funny how things like that can make us nervous. Go watch our marble slab video - it’s an older video but a simple technique with great results and think it will help give you some confidence to jump in 😊
I’ve had clay for years and years that is still fine, just make sure you store it in a sealed container or bag and in a cool place.
If you have any questions or need any help you are welcome to email us on DM us on our socials 😊
@@myclayco thank you so very much. If you don’t mind I will DM you in a day or so. I do have a project in mind I just don’t know if it’s possible. I’ll look through your older videos and see if you’ve covered it first. Thank you ever so kindly for your help and reply. Have a great day and enjoy making your beautiful art work. Cheers 🇦🇺

Glad it was helpful! 😊
Great video..thanks so much ☺️
Thank you, glad you liked it ☺️
Great video! I picked up a few extra tips!
I’ve only had to tent my pieces with foil if they were too close to the heating element. When I first started working with PC I found a small, used toaster oven online with dials for the temp so I could easily and quickly adjust the temperature if need be. It was wide, but rather short. It was much easier to foil tent than to constantly stare at the thermometers, predict how quickly the temp may rise, and adjust accordingly to prevent burning my pieces 😅
Now I’m working with one that can cook a medium sized turkey so I don’t have to tent them unless they’re very tall or I’m using both racks.
Thank you, glad you picked up some tips! Oh that would make sense that you need to tent it. A whole Turkey?! You can fit so many clay creations in there! 🥳
Thank you for such detailed and useful tips. Needed this.
So glad it helped!
Thank you for sharing this video its very helpfull 👏 😊

Your videos are great. You have a great personality for teaching. Thank you!
I do have a question. I bought a pasta roller at either Michael's or Hobby Lobby. There's not a brand name on it. I think the rollers are not exactly parallel, so the clay rolls down in a crooked manner. Does anyone else have this problem with a generic pasta roller? Someone else commented in this thread that they use their KitchenAid. I might have to get that attachment.
Thank you 🥰 Oh no, how frustrating! This gets discussed a lot on polymer clay forums and the general consensus is a lot of pasta machines don’t work quite so well with clay. The only one I can really recommend is the Atlas because I have used it for years and love it 😊
I loved this video. I have been doing clay a few years but you can always learn new things even if it’s basics. Also if you don’t want to crank a pasta maker QVC sells an electric one. I love it !! And makes it soo much easier !
Thank you 🥰 I will have to check out the electric crank! Anything to make creating easier! Thanks for the tip 😊
Thank you for the tip in your video. How thick do you roll clay for earrings?
My pleasure! Normally around 2-3mm 😊
Thank you! I’m just learning so this is great!
My pleasure!
I’m just wondering if you sand and buff your pieces, or if you put a glaze on them. If you do sand, can you tell me, is it necessary to use so many different grits
We normally just do a brief sand with 1200 grit (you may have to do more if your cutter blades are a little dull). Putting the extra effort into sanding and buffing your pieces can definitely elevate them, same as a glaze, but buffing and glazing aren’t necessary. Just depends on the look you’re after ☺️
Thank you for your information very good it help me a lot as a beginner
You’re welcome! So glad you found it helpful 😊
What do you put your clay on when baking? Metal pan, parchment paper,etc??
We generally work and bake on a tile 😊

Thanks for sharing this! I didn't know polymer clay was flexible! Mine always seem brittle and I've actually cracked some when I tried to bend them, despite baking for the recommended time at the recommended temperature with an oven thermometer!
Also, wondering if you have tips on how to stop polymer clay from cracking in the oven? I've tried making little cube-shaped figurines and they always crack in the oven. 😢
Hmmm what type of clay are you using? With the cubes, I’m wondering if the thickness of the clay is the issue. How big are the cubes? If they’re big enough, try filling them with alfoil 😊
I'm using Sculpey III. The cubes are approximately 1.5cm. Hmm, haven't tried filling them with aluminum foil as it seems harder to make them smooth but I guess I should try? 😅
If you’re using Sculpey III that’s probably why, sadly. I don’t prefer that line of clay for anything. I always end up very disappointed after spending so much time and energy on my project. I’ve really enjoyed working with Fimo. Sculpey Premo I still have an abundance of and it’s not bad at all. I like the texture of the Soufflé, but I only bought one to try and I haven’t worked with it enough to give a fair review, although it seems like most PC artists seem to really enjoy it. I’ve never tried Cernit, but I really want to! I’ve seen a lot of not-so-great reviews about the DAS Smart brand so I won’t be trying that anytime soon.
My suggestion would be to pick one up of a couple brands, or watch some reviews of the different brands and use a coupon for one of those multi packs of a different brand because everything you listed sounds very classic of Sculpey III.
@@hippiechick3210 thanks for sharing! It hadn't occurred to me that it could be the clay, as I thought it had something to do with my newbie skills 😅 I hadn't thought of trying clay from other brands as this is the one that I find most often at stores around here. Will look for others! Thanks a lot!
@@artcheryl you’re welcome! Don’t be so quick to doubt yourself! Polymer clay is a very forgiving medium to work with… IF you have a a decent quality starting clay to begin with! I’m honestly surprised Sculpey III is still as readily available as it is and about the same price range overall. I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to, read, or watched anyone that actually preferred it. It seems to be the throwaway line of clay. Like to mix with clay that’s too soft, to get a very specific shade, they bought it by mistake, they let the kids play with it, it’s good scrap, or something along those lines.
I’d love to meet some people who actually *do* prefer Sculpey III and pick their brains a little. Just to see what they make and what aspects they really enjoy about it. Maybe there’s some wild secret about it. I’ve only had luck when mixing it 🤷🏻♀️
I use a 20lb dumbell to bash really hard clay and then Italian made pasta roller i found at the thrift store. Does clay softener work better than mineral oil?
Good strategies! I always use clay softener - if you use too much of other products like mineral or baby oil it can mess with the polymer clay’s recipe and make it sticky and brittle 😊
That was great! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I've purchased many clay canes that have stunning patterns but some are quite hard. How do I condition them without distorting the patterns?
I haven’t done much caning but I usually just warm it up a little and slowly reduce it a bit. I have heard of people putting a little clay softener around it and letting it sit for a bit but I’ve never tried it!
Warm them up a little and then some gentle small twisting movements, they’ll slowly become more supple. The warmth of your hands will help. Take it slow
Can you use the same oven that you use for cooking?
Yes you can 😊 you do need to be aware though that if you burn your clay you should clean your oven with oven cleaner 😊
Do you use the fan forced setting ?
Normally just the normal oven setting, not fan forced. It does depend on your oven though so I’d do a test without and if your piece is under baked then try the fan forced setting 😊
Thank you,this was a great video!
My pleasure!
Thank you for the very informative video! I would like to know what grade sandpaper is best to use?
My pleasure! For most of our earrings we just give them a quick sand around the edges with very fine 1200 grit sandpaper. Some artists though start with a rough grit and work their way up 😊
I usually use a drop of baby oil. It smells good and conditions well. I use a dash of starch to dry clay that needs it.
Starch and baby oil is pretty cheap.
Ooo interesting! I haven’t tried either of these because I’ve been worried about how it will affect the composition of the clay but may need to test it out!
Very interesting video, thank you for sharing ! ;)
My pleasure! 😊
Hello, thank you for the tips. My daughter and I are going to buy a few things today to give it a go. Question what about earring hooks? Do you have a video that shows or can you advise what is the best kind to buy? brand?
Our video next week is actually on putting dangle earrings together! What great timing!
We are a little biased when it comes to findings because we stock a range that we have tried and tested. If you are in any polymer clay Facebook groups though you can also ask for recommendations there ☺️
Fab video. Thank you
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it ☺️❤️
Hi my name is Lisa, I haven't been working with polymer clay for very long but I love it. What I want to know and can't find any info on is how do I keep the edges of my clay from getting shredded/uneven/cracking/breaking up when I put it thru the pasta machine. I noticed when you ran a piece of clay thru your machine and were showing how if it is conditioned correctly and you fold it over that it won't crack on the fold, that piece had the same effect I'm talking about, is there a way to prevent that happening?
Thank you
Lisa (kickinandscreamin)
Hi Lisa! 👋 I think I know what you mean. Do you mean the clay is conditioned nicely but the edges still look rough? Normally with raggedy edges I just slice them off with a tissue blade 😊
I am brand new to this, and I haven’t started yet, but I’ve been watching your videos. I noticed in your video that there’s a little blocks of clay that you have in a plastic container. Do you cut up the clay when you get it into little blocks and put them in containers and then you just pick one out, when you want to use it how do you store your clay once you open it?
Welcome to the wonderful world of polymer clay! Yep, we store out open clay in these tubs. We normally cube it up so it’s easy to grab some and get on with our making. A lot of the clay you see in those tubs is actually scrap clay that we’ve mixed, cubed up and separated into colours 😊 we have a video on storage that includes storing clay correctly if you want to check it out ☺️
Thank you so much for this very informative video. I am about to begin my journey with polymer clay and so am cramming all the info I can on it. Total newbie, but keen to learn everything I can to enable me to do it well. Wish me luck!
Exciting! Good luck - polymer clay is such a wonderful medium, so I know you will have lots of fun creating with it! Make sure you watch our latest video on baking polymer clay as that is a crucial step to get right 😉
Really new to this. I want to make goods for crystal points, is there anything needed to add. Making mini mushrooms and wanting to give them a shimmery cap.What do I use for that? And does it need to be sealed? Can I also attach clay to the top of crystal skulls with Quartz points poking out of the clay and bake successfully?
I would use a mica powder to give your mushrooms a shimmery cap - you would need to seal them.
When adding other things to clay you either need to make sure they’re securely embedded, or super glue them in afterwards 😊
Great video! Very informative! New subscriber 🤗
Thanks so much! Appreciate the sub!
Hello thanks so much for your tips! I’m very new at clay working and are currently using air dry! My question is can you use your oven that you cook food in or does it need a separate oven? Tia
Hello! My pleasure! Polymer clay is non-toxic so it can be baked in your normal oven that you cook in. Obviously you want to avoid burning your clay, but if you accidentally did you should clean your oven before cooking in it again. Some artists prefer a seperate oven but we use our normal oven 😊
Where can I purchase your products for example different cutters and carnitas coloured clays etc I am in Perth Western Australia
Our website is www.myclayco.com.au 😊 we stock both Sculpey and Cernit clays and are based in Adelaide Australia ☺️

So glad you thought so, thank you 🥰
great video ! thank you :)
My pleasure! 🥰
Do you need something like an extractor hood for toxic odors with polymer clay or can it just be baked in an oven in the kitchen and does the resin also smell strong/toxic?
Polymer clay is non-toxic so you don’t need anything (just don’t burn it or you will need to clean your oven!). Before curing, resin definitely does have toxic vapours though so you need to wear safety gear and work in a well ventilated area (we recently released a video on it if you want to check it out 😊)
@@myclayco Thank you so much for your answer and information 😍
Thank you for sharing!!!! This is what I needed!!!
Yay! Our pleasure! ❤️
I'm "adding" polymer clay to my current craft, I work with cold porcelain, which I made myself for over 2 years.
My main reason is the techniques I cannot reproduce whatsoever with porcelain due to blend, mix, melt or just weather...
What to expect? I mean, i have a lot of practice (which doesn't make my work perfectly done or amazing) will I finally get an upgrade on my pieces in terms of more complex techniques? Cause for figures I find polymeric clay quite expensive and people often don't pay for the effort, let's not mention the material price which I will have to add to my final pricing.
Any advices or comments? I'm purchasing colors and tools to start September with less Spanish heat 😂 ...
Thanks
Oh exciting, I’m sure you will love it! And a lot of your tools and skills will be transferable to polymer clay. What type of pieces do you intend on making? I only know a little bit about cold porcelain but I believe it’s air dry? One great thing about polymer clay is that there’s no rush, you can take your time with details and just bake it when you’re ready ☺️
@@myclayco oh yes, air dry and water based. So everything has to be thought in advance, at least be sure of what to do and how.
My earrings and other pendants, necklaces are more diluted or "mixed"... gemstone, geode, canes, ink work, many many techs are impossible or almost impossible.
So, i made a hard call... my figures, most of my charms and others are mixes of clay, air dry clay and cold porcelain. For the more delicate or more technically challenging polimeric it is.
Loved your video, will stay tuned cause love how u communicate and teach
This was an AWESOME video! Very informative! THANK YOU! ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you! ☺️
Newbie here. Thanks for all the great info 😊
You are so welcome! 😊
This is fantastic!!!! Thank you so much! Is there a certain thickness that is best on the pasta machine?
Thank you 🥰 If you are using an Atlas I normally have it on the 1 or 2 setting, otherwise for earrings aim for 2-3mm thick 😊
I can only drop so many likes on your video, sorry, thank you :). What clay to you recommend for both structural rigidity and a bit of elasticity so it has room to bend a little* without breaking? I've heard Preemo is good, but looking for alternatives, if you wouldn't mind! Thanks :)
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰 my top pics would be Sculpey Premo, any of the Cernit polymer clays, or Fimo Professional 😊 just make sure you nail the baking, that will give it its strength and flexibility (we have a video on baking if you want to check it out 😉)
do you need a pasta roller or is it best to start without one and buy one later on?
You definitely don’t need a pasta roller to start, in fact I think I was working with clay for a good year before I got a pasta machine. I would start without one and if you find you love it then think about investing in one. They are definitely worth the investment though, it makes it more enjoyable because it’s so easy to condition your clay!
Fantastic vid! Two questions: will a glass surface or Matte work as well as a glass tile? Also, how did you get the gold lines in the purple mandala trinket dish?! 😍
Thank you! A lot of polymer clay artists work on a glass surface, you will just have to transfer your pieces to a baking tray of some sort (tile can be put straight in the oven without moving your pieces). A matte surface can work, but if you are using small or imprint cutters I generally recommend a gloss one so the clay sticks to your surface, otherwise it will peel off into your cutters 😊
The gold lines on that trinket dish are done using a silkscreen and acrylic paint ☺️💕
@@myclayco thank you!! Silk screen makes sense!
I use a glass surface for rolling and cutting, but you are right, I do have to transfer it to the Tile. I am going to roll and cut on the tile next time. I think that will minimize my shapes from being distorted when I try to transfer. Thanks!
Super helpful, thank you!
My pleasure! ☺️
Do we have Cernit in United States? I never seem to find it anywhere. I would love to try it, looks like it has alot of different colors!
I have heard from a few people in the US that some Michael’s stores have started stocking some lines of Cernit (mainly translucent, which is my favourite line of theirs!). Hopefully it becomes more readily available … we stock their whole range and ship worldwide otherwise ☺️
