There are different commercial formulations of plasticine and related compounds, but they all share the same basic properties. Plasticine and clay are similar in that they are both used for modeling in additive sculpture, and both consist of very fine mineral particles held together by a binder. The most basic difference is that "clay" is bound by water, while plasticine is bound by any number of oily substances. Also, the mineral particles in plasticine are primarily calcium carbonate, while the minerals in clay can be any of a number of phyllosilicates. This presents the following differences in use: clay begins to dry upon exposure to air while plasticine will remain soft as long as it is sufficiently warm. Clay can be fired to become hard and insoluble in water, while plasticine will first melt and then burn if heated. Fired clay is often used as a permanent medium in art and craft applications, while plasticine is almost always only an intermediate step in making a sculpture that will eventually be cast in metal, resin, etc.

Can you stick plasticine to canvas?
Yes, you can stick plasticine to canvas, but it may not adhere very well over time. Plasticine is designed to be malleable and won't bond permanently to surfaces like canvas. For a more secure attachment, you might consider using an adhesive specifically designed for art projects, though this could alter the plasticine's texture and appearance. Additionally, the weight of the plasticine could affect the canvas over time.

What is the Difference between glass and ceramics?
Technically, glass is a kind of ceramic, but when most people talk about ceramics, they mean clay that has been made very hot to cause the particles to bond together, leaving little spaces between them. During this process, the crystal structure of the clay does not change, and the particles do not actually melt. Common silicate glass is made of silicon dioxide and some other minerals, and the process melts these minerals together into a non-crystalline structure. Silicate glass can be transparent, but clay ceramics are not. Ceramics that are not glazed or otherwise treated to make them waterproof can also absorb gas or liquid (like water) into the spaces between crystals.
