Sculpey Bake Shop® Pig Face

Getting Started:

Please make sure your work area is covered and you are not working on an unprotected surface. We recommend working on the Sculpey® Oven Safe Work Mat, wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Uncured clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately.

Start with clean hands, unwrap and knead clay until soft and smooth, or condition by running clay though a Pasta Machine. We recommend using a designated machine for clay purposes only. When working with multiple colors, clean hands with soap and water or baby wipes (we have found that baby wipes work best) before switching colors. Shape clay, pressing pieces firmly together.  Wash hands after use.

Baking (also called Curing):

Begin by preheating oven to 275 °F (130 °C). After you are done creating; for
best results bake clay on an oven-proof surface such as metal, aluminum foil,
an index card or the Sculpey® Oven Safe Work Mat at 275°F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per ¼" (6 mm) of thickness according to package directions. Oven safe glass or ceramic surfaces are also acceptable for baking; however please note that the baking times may take longer as the glass or ceramic surfaces take longer to heat up. For best baking results, use an oven thermometer. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT EXCEED THE ABOVE TEMPERATURE OR RECOMMENDED BAKING TIME 

NOTE: A class of 24 students will require 2 oz bars of Bake Shop – (7) White, (5) Pink, (1) Black  

Have students write their name on top corner of 3x5 inch index card. The card can be placed in the oven for baking.

Each student will need 1/4 bar of white and 1/8 bar of pink for the face.

Also 1/16 of a bar of Pink for the ears and nose.

For the pig face we will need 1/4 bar of White and 1/8 bar of Pink. Also 1/16 bar of pink for ears and nose.

Mix the 1/4 bar of White and the 1/8 bar of Pink together to make Light Pink.
