Last week I started modeling a piece of "Sculpey" but as I was holding the base of my work-in-progress the material just started to melt in my hands. I had to use really hot water and dish soap to remove this sticky mess from my hands.
Also are you supposed to put your artwork on a "stand" so that you avoid touching it while you are working on it. If so, how do you keep the project from losing contact (and start wobbling on the stand) as you are applying force on the clay to shape it?
How do you use an aluminum mesh? Isn't clay going trough the openings and end up on the other side of the mesh?
Also I am planning a large project, but the clay I can get at the local art supply store is really small and expensive. Is there a place where I could buy in bulk non-toxic materials?
Thank you for your help
