In this video I'll take you through 11 things I wish I knew before I started polymer clay. It is great for beginners, but may also include a couple of useful tips for polymer clay artists. Topics will include:
1. Using the right polymer clay for the job
2. Making your clay workable (conditioning, clay softener and leaching)
3. Getting rid of air bubbles and lint
4. Curing Your Clay Correctly
5. Finishing your pieces (sanding and sealants)
6. Mixing different clay brands
7. Burnishing your clay when using cutters
8. Using a Tissue Blade
9. Using a Pasta Machine
10. Different = Different (and that's ok)
11. WARNING: Polymer Clay is addictive!
