I don't know about molds, I've just shaped my own items.  You can make beads
and small things.  I have rolled it out and used some cookie cutters to make
tree ornaments and refrigerator magnets.

I put foil on the baking sheets just in case they stuck down or something.
They did not stick down, but I still use the foil.  Some of the clays smell
a little like melting plastic when they are baking.  The packages tell you
how long to bake and at what temp.

I don't think you will need a class, but I'm sure you can find some tips
online.

I also handle the clay on wax paper.  I don't know if it stains or anything,
but I would rather be safe than making my island some crazy color.

Nella,

Thank you for your quick response.

I am getting excited. 

I did see some polymer clay on amazon.

If I may, I have a couple more questions:

1. Are there little molds in the kits?

2. When you bake the items on a cookie sheet?

3. Do I have to take classes or can I learn on my own. 

Thank you. Smile.

Yes, there are a lot of colors available.  It is easy to work with and you
can bake it in your oven.  There are also some air dry clays as well, but
I've never tried those.

There are all kinds of neat modeling compounds at the craft stores.

Hi all,

Has anyone on here had experience with polymer clay?

I use to do ceramics but can't do that now as I'm sure it's a bit
expensive-so am thinking of doing the polymer clay and making small things.

Thanks very much.
