What is Polymer Clay?
Polymer clay is crafted from a type of hardenable modeling clay that actually contains no true clay minerals. It's mainly composed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Other ingredients such as fillers, plasticizers and pigments are added to increase its versatility, pliability and to give it vibrant color. Polymer clay will become firm and rigid when it is dried in the oven.
