My answer goes for Polymer Clay: You cook it IN AN OVEN for 15 mins per quarter of an inch of thickness (How thick the clay is) at 275F. That's if you are using Sculpey. I think all clays made by Sculpey are baked at the same temperature for the same amount of time, but I'm not sure. Also when you buy your clay look at the instructions. It will tell you how to bake it. DO NOT PUT IN MICROWAVE!! It will become soft and lumpy then turn super hard.

you can with polymer clay but not with air dry or other kinds
The temperature and time varies for different brands of polymer clay. Always read the instructions on the package and do not bake for longer than the instructions tell you to. Let the piece cure either in the oven or take it out. Let it sit for a while so the colours intensify and deepen. This process also lets the polymer clay harden and to be stronger.Fimo - Bake at 230°F/110°CBake for about 30 minutes, a bit longer for thicker pieces.Sculpey - Bake at 275°F/ 130°CBake for about 20 minutes, a bit longer for thicker pieces.Studio by Sculpey - Bake at 275°F/130°CBake for about 30 minutes, a bit longer for thicker pieces.Kato Clay - Bake at 300°F/150°Bake for about 10-15 minutes
If the clay is a polymer like Sculpy, it can be baked at 250 in a regular oven. If it is traditional earth clay, it needs a kiln.
The best tips for making a polymer clay iPhone case are to choose a durable clay, properly measure and shape the clay to fit your phone, bake the clay according to the instructions, and add any desired decorations or finishes after baking.
No. Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens. Polymer clay does not have an oil, it hardens when exposed to heat. polymer clays are often called "oven-bake clay"because you can make stuffs such as pendants, brooch, earings and other accesories using polymer clay by baking them in the oven. YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.
You should read the package but most of them cook at 265-275 F. But you can also just turn it to a temp. Around 250-300 F. And just watch it.... Sometimes it releases a smell but it's harmless to people.... But birds on the other hand.... keep them away.... they shouldn't be near the oven anyways.... also go on youtube.com and type in "polymer cupcakes angeladivine" she has TONS of them.... they are amazazing and she has tutorials on how to make them... Happy Baking :)
To make polymer clay harder, you can bake it in an oven according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the oven temperature is accurate and consistent throughout the baking process to prevent burning or cracking. Overbaking can cause the clay to become brittle, so it's important to follow the recommended baking time closely.
take a block of clay and slice it thin then in the middle cut a rectangle then on the top and bottom make a hole for the screws. then bake
Polymer clay is lighter than terracotta clay. Terracotta clay is a natural clay that is heavier due to its composition, while polymer clay is a man-made material that is much lighter in weight.
Are you perhaps making polymer clay jewelry? If so, then yes, you can insert the eyepins into the clay before baking. However, the pins may pull out easily after baking, so expect to apply glue after the clay has cooled.
Hope this helped! No....Polymer Clay and Reg. Clay are not the same. For One Polymer Clay can be 'cured' in your home oven where other clay need either air to dry them or a High Fire Kilm.
