What is a Polymer Clay?
Polymer clay is a type of hardenable modeling clay based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
It typically contains no clay minerals, but like mineral clay a liquid is added to dry particles until it achieves gel-like working properties, and similarly, the part is put into an oven to harden, hence its colloquial designation as clay.
