Tips and tricks needed for a beginner!

Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m brand new to working with polymer clay and am just doing it as a fun hobby. I’ve picked up quite a few tools and supplies, but I’m definitely still learning.
I’m really struggling with conditioning the clay and working with larger pieces. I keep ending up with cracks, and I’m not sure if it’s my technique, the clay itself, or something else I’m doing wrong.
I’d love to hear any tips, tricks, or beginner advice you wish someone had shared with you when you were starting out. Videos, favorite tools, conditioning methods, and any other helpful suggestions are all appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Question about baking glue/adhesive

1 Upvotes

I've recently been trying to learn how to make figures with clay and its been so difficult. One issue i've been facing is making my sculpts proportional. my idea is to create the entire base out of wire and tinfoil and then put the clay on top, but my tinfoil often comes apart from the wire. Could I add a tiny bit of some sort of adhesive to make my skeleton stick together? Or maybe someone has tips on what the process should be for creating a figure. Thanks

Why does my clay shrink and pull away when covering an aluminum foil core

Hi everyone! I’m running into an issue when sculpting over an aluminum foil core. Whenever I lay the clay over the aluminum base, it ends up shrinking and warping/cracking like this: [Attach your photo here].

Is this happening because:

It isn't drying/curing properly?

The layer of clay over the foil is too thin or too thick?

Polymer clay / air-dry clay shouldn't be wrapped tightly over a solid aluminum base?

I'd love to know what might be causing this and how to fix or prevent it. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated
