HOW TO RECOGNIZE A GOOD QUALITY FOAM CLAY?

Foam clay is a very soft and stretchy clay. I go more in detail of what foam clay is made of in this post (Everything you need to know about Foam Clay). It should not be sticky. It should have a nice stretch. And even though it is satisfyingly soft it should still keep its shape when you sculpt your creation. Lastly, it should not crack when it dries. 

If your foam clay is sticky or too soft to keep its shape, I do have some tips for you. We will learn more about troubleshooting clay in a later lesson but if you need immediate help watch this video (How to fix sticky clay) where I talk about how to fix sticky clay or stiffen up clay so you can better work with it. 

If you read this far then I highly suggest you come join our Facebook group. We have lots of foam clay artists who all share their creations, give tips and inspire each other with new ideas. 

Tips for working with Foam Clay

• If you have a particular soft and sticky clay I suggest to let it dry just a little bit and then mix it well or you can add a different type of clay called SOFT Clay. This will take the tackiness out and give the foam the needed support to hold its shape.
• The Secret to a super smooth and wrinkle-free appearance is your palm and the right pressure. When you roll the clay between your palms don't be afraid to really squish and roll it around. This will ensure all the wrinkles disappear. Then you lessen the pressure and shape it into its final form.
• if you are trying to save money and color your own clay, use Gel Food Colors. I find that acrylic colors will mess up the clay's consistency and dry it out, which makes it difficult to work with.

If you are brand new to foam clay watch my beginner playlist on youtube that will go more into detail and teach you everything you need to know about foam clay.
