You will learn how to sculpt polymer clay, split wood and build a fence, sculpt and hammer copper for the door's decorative filigree, create faux moss ground cover, create realistic tree foliage with preserved moss and much more. This is a very involved project and still great for beginners and polymer clay sculptors of all skill levels. C'mon, let's have some fun!

Sculpey 3 Polymer Clay Baking Instructions

Place the house on a smooth, slick ceramic dish. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Bake the house for 15 minutes per quarter inch of thickness of clay. Just find the thickest portion of clay on the sculpture, measure the thickness and bake the sculpture for 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness of clay. The oven will not get hot enough to harm the wood of the fence. When the sculpture has finished baking, let it cool completely before handling it.
