Sculpey is a popular brand of polymer clay commonly used for crafting and sculpting. While Sculpey is non-toxic and safe to handle, it is not intended for use with food or as dinnerware.
Non-Food Use
Sculpey and other polymer clays are specifically designed for artistic and creative purposes:
- They are not food-safe and should not be used for making items that come into contact with food or beverages.
- Using Sculpey for dinnerware, utensils, or serving dishes can pose health risks, as the clay is not designed to withstand the rigors of food use, washing, or exposure to high temperatures.
Safe Handling
While Sculpey is non-toxic and safe to handle, it’s important to follow safety guidelines:
- Wash your hands after handling polymer clay to prevent accidental ingestion.
- Keep polymer clay and finished creations away from pets and small children.
- If you want to create items for use with food, opt for food-safe materials and methods, such as ceramics or FDA-approved clay.
Creative Possibilities
Sculpey and similar polymer clays offer endless creative possibilities for crafting, jewelry making, and sculpture. Use them to create decorative pieces, ornaments, and artistic projects that enhance your creative endeavors.
