What is the difference between sculpture clay and ceramic clay?
1 Answer
The difference between sculpture clay and ceramic clay is composition. Sculpture clay usually involves synthetic polymers that make it easy to work into highly complex shapes. Although there are various types of ceramic clay, it generally is a mix of kaolin and ball clay, which are less flexible and stretchy. Due to its properties, it can be formed into more basic shapes.
