jcfigures 1 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Welcome to the IGMA Forum. For those of you interested in polymer clays suitable for miniature figure sculpting (and others too) there are up and coming new clays soon to be available. With the recent fears that the inclusion of phthalates could cause health scares they have, mostly, been withdrawn and, since phthalates make the clays plastic, have made many clays too soft and unusable. A real scare for those of us dependent on clay as it is . However there is good news and manufacturers have been listening to us all and, starting in May this year, new, hopefully better clays will be available. This should be good news for all clay users I hope 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Susan 3 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Will you let us know when and where these clays will become available? Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Catherine Ronan 135 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 This is great news Jamie. I am very happy to hear it because I find almost all of them too soft to work with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corky Anderson 9 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Keeping up with changes in basic supplies seems to be a continuing journey. I look forward to hearing your reviews of the new products Jamie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barbourboy 1 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thank you for keeping on top of the manufacturers on whose products we rely. I'm tired of mixing clays to get the qualities I'm looking for! Oh, for the good old days of just opening a pack of Fimo #43 and getting on with it:-) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SueV 33 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 No kidding, Mike. If they ever change Super Sculpey I don't know what I'll use for cat sculptures. If it's not broke, don't fix it, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
