Have you ever watched glass artists working on melted glass, blowing on them, shaping them and then finally plunging the product they have created in cold water to finish it.. or have you looked at potters simply slap on some mud clay on to their potter’s wheel as they shape it into different shapes. Then they have the delight of baking their creations in the clay and glazing them if they want to embellish them further. All these processes leave us longing to work on such creations that involve your creative mind and your hands. We often do not proceed with such works of art because the process of learning to do so and acquiring the material to work on these can be expensive and time consuming. The long process of learning and the investment of time and money required in this process tends to discourage most people. That is why you may be delighted to learn that there is an element called polymer clay that allows you to create works of art but in a simpler and quicker manner. It is so easy that you can include polymer clay art in the craft ideas that kids can use to make homemade gifts, except for the baking aspect.
