I’ve just started using WED clay as opposed to Sculpey, which had been the only medium I was used to. I work at a costume and accessory studio in Pittsburgh and have already created three new quarter masks using WED as well as a small figure from oil clay. I love using this stuff and hope to learn more about it.

I usually only use acrylics. I seem to be to impatient for oils, and frankly I feel ill informed. I really like watercolors, but still seem to lack the patience and control to feel comfortable using them. Of course I’d like to move out of my comfort zones.

Practice, practice, practice. For a person who gets easily flustered and embarrassed this becomes a problem. I know things rarely come out right the first time, but applying that knowledge is tough. I feel uncomfortable setting myself up for immediate failure, even if it means better results in the future.
