oven-bake clay

Craft store modeling

Oven-bake clay is a modeling material that hardens when heated in a standard kitchen oven, unlike air-dry clays or kiln-fired ceramics.

Popular brands include Sculpey and Fimo.

Crafters use it for jewelry, figurines, and small decorative objects: She made earrings from oven-bake clay.

Also called polymer clay.
