Types of clay:

1. Paper:

It is also called "paper pulp clay" in China. Ingredients include pulp, gum, feldspar and fiber, etc. No need to grill, the texture after drying is between clay and plaster, will not break, and can be stored permanently without deformation. It can not only be carved, but also attached to various objects for pasting and shaping. It can match well with stone, wood, and glass, and is widely used.

2. Oil:

Oil clay is generally used as an auxiliary after the work is completed. For example, when making clay flower bonsai pots, you only need to take out an appropriate amount of clay and put it into the pot. , insert the work to make it stable. The characteristic of oil clay is that soft/hard oil clay will not harden even if it is exposed to the air. Generally, you only need to choose soft clay or hard clay according to your preference.

3. Resin:

There are two types of resin clay, one is bread flower (flour clay). Breadcrumbs originated from a saying in Latin America. Locals collected leftover bread crumbs, dried them and ground them into powder, then added white glue to make "flour clay". However, this kind of flour-based clay is not malleable enough or strong enough. The works created will easily break after drying and cannot be stored for a long time.

Later, this simple craft was spread to Japan, and the Japanese improved it, adding preservatives and other chemicals to make flour clay. This kind of flour clay itself is translucent in color, soft in nature, can be stretched to very thin without cracking, and remains elastic even after drying, allowing you to create slender works freely.
