The Problem with Polymer and Conventional Options
Clay has always been a material of tradition. For centuries, artists and craftspeople shaped it into functional and decorative pieces, fired in kilns to achieve strength and permanence. But ceramics require heavy equipment, extreme heat, and specialized knowledge — things most home studios don’t have.
Polymer clays emerged as a shortcut: no kiln, just bake in a home oven. But convenience came at a cost. Polymer is built on plastics, softeners, and synthetic additives, raising concerns about fumes, disposability, and long-term environmental impact.
That left makers with limited choices: either work with traditional clay and invest in machinery, or compromise with polymer.
Eco Forma changes the equation. It’s a clay that honors tradition — hand-workable, water-based, and tactile — but reimagined for modern studios. No kilns, no plastics, no toxic trade-offs.
What Makes Eco Forma Different
1. Sustainable at the Core
Eco Forma cures naturally in air — no baking, no UV lamps, no plastics. It’s made with eco-conscious ingredients that keep your workspace safe and reduce environmental impact.
2. A Porcelain-Like Finish
Eco Forma is part of a complete system we’ve developed for artists and makers. The clay works in harmony with our custom topcoats and dip coats, each designed to add strength, durability, and a refined finish. Together, the system embodies our vision: materials that are as lasting as they are beautiful.
3. Strong Enough for Jewelry, Flexible Enough for Sculpture
Unlike brittle air-dry clays or overly soft compounds, Eco Forma balances strength and flexibility. Roll it paper-thin, cut crisp edges, or form delicate folds — then watch it cure into lightweight yet durable pieces, ideal for jewelry and display work.
Why It Matters for Creators
Safety & Peace of Mind
No fumes. No baking. Simple water cleanup. Parents can let kids explore freely. Teachers can bring clay into classrooms without kilns. Designers can build wearable collections without extra machinery.
Freedom from Machinery
Eco Forma is part of a complete system we’ve developed for artists and makers. The clay works in harmony with our custom topcoats and dip coats, designed to add strength, durability, and a refined finish.
