Many of the books concentrate on creating models with polymer clay. They offer instructions for blending colours, conditioning the clay and for achieving detail with this versatile modelling medium.

The choice of polymer clays available from the George Weil website include Fimo and Sculpey in a large choice of sizes and colours, they both offer a choice of doll making clays in natural skin tones. The Sculpey clays also include the superior Super Sculpey Firm Gray clay used by professional sculptors and the Sculpey Artist/Teachers Bulk Pack offers excellent value for large projects, classrooms and workshops.
