Description
1) A composite, non-hardening material used for modeling. Modeling clay originally made in Italy consisted of a high quality clay mixed with tallow and sulfur (Mayer 1969). Later imitations were made from clay mixed with inert fillers, grease, and oil. Examples of current commercial modeling clays are Plasticine®, Klean Klay, FIMO, Farcolina, and Alix modeling clay.
2) Any natural clay used for modeling.
