What is Polyvinylchloride and what do we use it for?

Yes, both of these bowls are made with polymer clay! Polymer clay is vinyl and therefore it's a flexible plastic. And just like you'd expect, thin pieces are quite flexible and flexibility decreases as thickness increases. It's important to consider this factor when making anything out of polymer clay. It's important when making useful items like bowls, but it also comes into play when making slab and cutter earrings. Thin earrings will be flexible, which may not necessarily give the intended
