Topics Covered In This Video:
* In the past I have shown you how to condition clay using various different types of tools.
* But I also know that some of you are just starting out with polymer clay and don't any have tools yet.
* I show you some tips on how to condition clay by hand without hurting your wrists and hands.
* First warm up the clay in your hands or by placing in a warm (not hot) location.
* Some people like to sit on the clay (or put in bra) to initially warm up their blocks of polymer clay.
* Don't squeeze or knead with fingers or thumbs. That will be hard on your muscles and joints.
* Instead, roll and press with the palm or heal of your hand.
* Continually twist and wiggle the clay to wake up the oils and plasticizers.
* Keep rolling and squishing clay with palm until clay is soft, pliable and workable.
* It can take a while by hand, but you still can do a good job of conditioning clay without any tools and without being too hard on your hands.
* However, if you have hand mobility issues, then you are going to have to invest in some tools.
* Using tools to condition polymer clay... like a pasta machine... the NEVERknead... or a food processor... will obviously help speed up the process.
