Where can I find the type of clay used in clay animation?
There are many good supply houses out there. But first I would suggest checking your local phonebook under art and ceramic supplies. Many cities have this stuff in town, without having to send out for mail order. (Look under Art and Ceramic supplies.)Vinton’s used a plasticine from Van Aken and is selling their own under the Claymation name. They also used a lot of Sculpey for small props because of it’s resemblance to clay, and the fact that once baked, it was rigid and un-melting under set lights.
