QuestionWhat type of clay would you say is best?Jules KitchenerCommunity AnswerAir-dry clay is light and easy to work with. You can paint color into the clay bit by bit or just paint your creation when it's dry. Polymer clay is usually for oven baking, you have to work the clay to make it supple. This clay is very hardy and heavier. It all depends on what project your using it for. For example, I prefer air dry clay to put onto handmade cards because it's so light.
