What are the Different Types of Modeling Clay?
Modeling clay is a term that covers a group of malleable products used for sculpting and building by children, art students, hobbyists, and professionals including potters and animators. All types of modeling clay can be shaped and worked with modeling tools for sculpting, blending, texturing, thinning, scraping, poking, and cutting. They can also be rolled with rolling pins or in pasta makers, molded, and worked with tools such as extruders, potato mashers, and garlic presses to create various effects. Modeling clay can be built up on its own or built onto a pre-formed armature. There are four basic types of modeling clay.
