Create with your hands, without limits
Some things never go out of style: the joy of making a piece with your own hands. Polymer clay is perhaps the material that best supports that impulse. You work it soft, like modeling clay, but once you bake it, it truly hardens and lasts for years.
Among polymer clays, one brand became the world reference: Sculpey, made by Polyform Products in the USA since 1967 and present in every major market. At Carol we brought it in —we are its authorized distributor in Colombia since 2024— so you can craft jewelry and accessories with results you can see.
Why Sculpey and not just any clay
Not all polymer clays perform the same. These are the differences you actually feel at the workbench and in the finished piece:
| Feature | Sculpey | Generic clay |
|---|---|---|
| Baking stability | ✓ Doesn't shrink or change size | May shrink or warp |
| Color | ✓ Holds its color after baking | May shift or dull |
| Manufacturing | ✓ Made in the USA to strict standards | Variable quality |
| Range | ✓ 100+ colors and specialized lines | Limited range |
| Result | ✓ Strong and flexible; holds fine detail | Tends to be more brittle |
| Backing | ✓ Authorized distributor: colors and advice | No guaranteed backing |
Premo and Soufflé: the ones we brought for jewelry making
Strong, flexible and full of detail
Break-resistant after baking and able to hold fine detail with ease. It comes in a huge range with metallic, pearl, fluorescent and translucent effects. The favorite for jewelry and advanced techniques.
Matte finish, lightweight, crack-free
Its signature is a matte, suede-like finish, very elegant. Light and self-supporting: it holds on its own, ideal for large pieces that don't warp or crack. Firm to the touch yet easy to work.

Everything you can create
A timeless material
Trends come and go: earth tones today, neon tomorrow, translucent next. The great thing about Sculpey is that it fits them all. With the same clay you make today's trend and next year's. Not a seasonal buy: a material that lasts and grows with you.
How to bake Sculpey
- Model your piece by hand with your tools, like modeling clay.
- Use your home oven —conventional—. Never a microwave.
- Bake at 275 °F (130 °C), about 30 minutes per 6 mm of thickness.
- Make a test piece and use an oven thermometer: every oven is different.
- Let it cool and you're done: strong and made to last.
