Polymer clay is a versatile modeling material made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other additives. It is available in a wide range of colors and can be easily shaped and molded by hand or with tools. Once shaped, it can be hardened by baking in a regular oven, making it ideal for crafting and artistic projects. This type of clay is popular among artists, hobbyists, and crafters for creating items like jewelry, figurines, and home decor. Unlike traditional clay, polymer clay remains flexible until it is baked, allowing for intricate designs and details.
