EthanKahler Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm making a old style claymation movie type project, but I am not sure what type of clay to buy. My initial thought was low fire clay, but now I'm worried about the wire that will need to go into it for structure or even what wire to get. Please help.

glazenerd Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 http://www.lagunaclay.com/clays/western/em217.php the recipe originated from the old Walt Disney studios. (WED) his initials. Non- firing, meant to be used for the purpose you presented. Nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEP Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I was going to recommend a non-hardening oil-based clay like Klean Klay. Only I googled it and learned that Klean Klay is no longer available. But a company called Van Aken is selling alternatives called Protolina and Plastilina. https://www.amazon.com/Van-Aken-Protolina-Klean-Alternative/dp/B007R5QHYO I used Klean Klay for a project about 10 years ago. If I was doing a claymation I think it would work great. Clays that need to be fired would not work for claymation, due to the drying and shrinking.

Min Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 I would use Plasticine. It's inexpensive at a dollar store, doesn't dry out quickly, won't shrink, can work fine details into it etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
