You’ve probably seen videos of clay artists bending their baked clay and wondered “What am I doing wrong?” If you have ever baked polymer clay and got any result other than bendable clay, it may not necessarily mean you did it all wrong. In this video you can see two different pieces made with the same clay and baked in the same way, but one is bendable and the other one is not. And here’s why: Not all baked clay pieces will be bendable after baking. This usually happens when you bake thin pieces of flat clay . But in pieces like the second one, where the clay is thicker and I have sculpted some parts and added lots of details on top, the clay just turns into something hard and resistant. So here’s how I bake Fimo Soft and Cernit polymer clay: I set the oven for 110 degrees Celsius and may or may not wait for it to preheat . I then leave the clay baking for 30 minutes and once it’s finished I just turn off the oven and leave the clay inside for another 30 minutes . This way I always have very resistant pieces and if the clay is thinner, it even becomes bendable as you see in this video. This however should not be the end goal. If the piece is more complex the most important is for it to be resistant, not bendable 😉 I hope this is helpful and gives you some peace of mind 😁 Let me know if you want me to test anything else and share the results with you here. #clay #polymerclay #claytip #polymerclayart #polymerclayjewelry #polymerclaycreations #clayartist #claycreations #clayjewelry #handmade #handmadejewelry #handcrafted #clayearrings #earringmaking #jewelerymakingtips #clayinspiration | Clay Repository | Anderson .Paak · Make It Better
