The CiaraQ 32-color set is designed as a budget-friendly synthetic polymer for entry-level tactile training. The material consists of a PVC resin suspended in a liquid plasticizer, which results in a soft texture that requires very little "conditioning" or kneading before use. This makes it particularly accessible for younger users with less grip strength. Each block weighs approximately 20g, providing a suitable volume for small miniatures and jewelry charms.
Functional features include:
- High pigment saturation to ensure vibrant colors in finished projects.
- Included jewelry findings like earring hooks and pins for immediate project completion.
- ABS plastic tools designed for basic shaping and texturing.
Specifications indicate a narrow thermal window for curing, generally between 248°F and 266°F. It is important to avoid exceeding these temperatures to maintain a safe environment in the kitchen. Because this clay has a higher oil content, it is best used on non-porous surfaces like glass or metal to prevent staining. While the set is excellent for learning, the finished pieces are intended for decorative use rather than heavy handling.
For those who require a significantly larger volume of material for bulkier projects, the ReArt 10lb bulk clay block offers a more substantial quantity.
You can find this set and other beginner-friendly options in our modeling clay starter kits category.
