Fimo Creations

Time to sculpt and mold with Fimo and Sculpey clay!  Fimo and Sculpey are both brightly colored polymer clays that come in tiny blocks.  Art Club students dug into another art teacher's collection of clays when we were looking for something fun to do.  (Thank you Mrs. Arris!)

 













Students warmed the clay by working it with their hands until it was pliable, then shaped it into various forms for their creations.  They even borrowed Mrs. Arris' pasta press to experiment with creating layers and blended stripes for flat layers.

A student made these disks by layering different colors of clay
and pressing them in a pasta maker, then spraying them with
clear finishing spray.  Earring wires were then attached.

Polymer clays can be used to make decorative items, functional things, or jewelry.  It does not require any firing in a kiln, in fact, it is baked in a regular oven at low temperatures.  To get the gloss you see here, spray finished pieces with clear spray paint or fixative.
