Premo Sculpey Opal is a unique clay that, once baked, will shine with a brilliant rainbow of colour, reminiscent of real opal. Used by itself or mixed with pearlescent colours, Opal opens a whole new world of creative possibility.
Important Notice about OPAL Premo Polymer Clay
Due to the large volume of opalescent flakes in the Opal Premo Clay, it may appear harder to condition than other clays. The apparent dryness compared to basic colours is not a fault, but characteristic of how it's intended to be used.
If you'd prefer it to be softer, you may like to add a couple of drops of Liquid Clay Softener or a pinch of Solid Clay Softener to aid in conditioning. A softener is an absolutely essential item in your kit and one thing all clay artists need on hand.
The clay itself will also appear different to the artist impression of the packet shown above. Please see the photos below of the clay itself. Opal Premo consists of Translucent Clay with a large volume of opalescent flakes. Once baked the clay will become semi-translucent to allow the light refraction to occur. This makes the opal flashes reminiscent of real opal to appear. Use it in a large piece or create opal veins through other clays for unlimited possible effects. You can also create small flat round or oval pieces and cover with a dome of UV Resin for realistic looking cabochons.
