How To Do The Sutton Slice - Polymer Clay Technique

[@jeanrutka4517]

Thanks for such a good demo. You always give good explanations and show problems that might come up. ❤❤❤

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I have today heard the expression Sutton Slice, whilst reading about POLYMER clay on the internet. And I have to say that I had absolutely no idea what it was. But after watching this wonderful video I am fully clear on what it is, and how to make one myself. Thank you so much for your video and your intelligent, practical, clear advice and demonstrations of all the fascinating techniques in the polymer clay world. You are a wonderful teacher! God bless you.

[@PolymerClayTutor]

Thank You Carly for you kind words! It means so much to me that you would take the time to share your appreciation for this video and our channel. Enjoy your journey with this amazing medium. Take care!

[@shelleywalters8692]

i am hooked on your videos, we had a girls clay day a couple of weeks ago and plan on having many, in the process of creating a craft area in my basement. Thank you for your wonderful techniques, you are very easy to listen and learn from.

[@roxanneparsons3847]

What a great technique! Can't wait to practice this.

[@pattword6620]

I have never done the Sutton slice. Seeing your vid makes it look easy and so so pretty. Ty for your tips !!

[@LPNeogetz]

Just tried this with amazing results. thank you for the video.

[@joyceparkes2678]

Wonderful! My next experiment 😘

[@yolorwatson]

I'm pretty new to clay, but this technique doesn't seem very difficult at all. I'm going to have to get some texture sheets/stamps soon and do this! Hope your week has been good. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@hoodirash]

I always loves your videos and i hoped that i am near to your location so that i can attend your sessions if you have them physically. anyway, i am a big fan of your creativity. cant wait to see more of your videos. good luck and happy new year.

[@MultiJewelryLady]

[@m.m.pawliuk2180]

Thank you!!❤

[@Cacheymama_crafts]

Thank you. Love your videos. I've learned so much!

[@feltrimre]

Hi, Cindy. I'm a beginner at polymer clay and I'm having some problems with cracks in my pieces. I'm Brazilian and I've been working with PVClay. I'm following some of your tips such as using a ceramic tile in the oven and I'm baking according to manufacturer's recommendation. Can you help me to avoid these crackings after baking? Thank you for your videos. I love them all. ☺️

[@loisjuston856]

I love your work !!!

[@PropheticEnvy]

very great video and easy to understand. I have been wanting to try this technique for a long time. but haven't found many deeply etched unmounted stamps to try it with. but after lots of shopping I've got a few nice ones to try. so I will remember your video :) I'm a long time fan so I always appreciate all the help and advice you give us fellow clay lovers. Also I was Hobby Lobby the other day and saw the glass cutting mat you have. I jus had to pick it up (later from Michaels because it was ALOT CHEAPER lol) but thanks for the tips! :)

[@phoebesweet3664]

amazing videos. Beginner here who had an epic fail when I tried a cane and made wayyyyyy too much. I have been working safer and making round beads and in a month something like this will fit right in with the Christmas jewelry projects i'm heading for. I think this years home made gifts will be some of the best received ever.

[@ClareCreationsAL]

Thank you for all the videos you do!! I love each and every one even though I don't comment often. By the way I LOVE your hair color!!

[@PolymerClayTutor]

Thank you, that is very sweet of you to say! :)

[@Queenofdamned13]

I love your hair color!!! 😄

[@1994abbygirl]

[@PolymerClayTutor]

[@EnlightenedFlamingo]

Loving your hair!!!

[@caseyscreations6493]

Wonderful!!

[@Pamelakaygorman]

Cindy, can you tell me where you purchased your glass mat?

[@kirrilywelsh]

Awesome!

[@traceymarshall7613]

I love this technique. I'm quite new and this is something that I can actually do well lol. can anyone tell me what size jump rings are used in that necklace please? it looks ace. also, I'm learning loads from Cindy and think she's brilliant! Happy Claying xx

[@hkreations5108]

Turned out very pretty. So, Sculpey III would be an ideal clay to use, because of how soft it is, right? A good way to use up some scraps, to make reverse texture sheets too.

[@PolymerClayTutor]

Yeah, SculpeyIII should work pretty well for Sutton SLice. You could useastronger clay like Premo or Souffle as your base and the SculpeyIII for the top. As long as it was stuck really well to the base clay, it should matter too much if it is a more brittle clay.

[@claymasterdiana]

this helps me alot

[@almondeastland9715]

Thank you for this video. I tried this technique for the first time this week. I made sure to add clay softener to my clay, so it was very soft and sticky. However, the mold is leaching the clay, so by the time I'm ready to roll it into the base sheet (especially if I don't have time to do it all in one sitting), the clay is dry and cracked. Have you heard of this before? Is there anything I can do to the molds to keep them from leaching the clay?

[@CindyLietz]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@almondeastland9715]

Thank you. I'll give that a try.

[@rehamzarief]

u r an amazing teacher ;) .. keep going sweet heart i love ur work

[@eldermanager]

Hello -do you have a link for the tools you use, please? I'm thinking particularly of the cutting blade you use in this video as I've not seen one like that before. Thank you, 🙋🏻from Norfolk, UK.

[@eldermanager]

+Polymer Clay Preaching Thank you, I've acquired a set:-))

[@larzvanhellsing2048]

Have you done a tutorial on air dry polymer clays? ..I would love to hear or see your input, by the way I love your videos :)

[@PolymerClayTutor]

Thank you Larry, that is kind of you! I haven't worked a lot in airdry clay yet. I do have some to do some PcT Test Lab experiments with... just haven't gotten to it yet. SHould bump that up on the list, shouldn't I?

[@larzvanhellsing2048]

Yes definitely! ..Lumina Air dry Polymer clay is a good working clay, but unfortunately it begins to dry like immediately and feels like vinyl when completely dry, I recommend it for those who want to do teeth, claws, or anything small but I'm sure you can come up with something as you are great with experimenting on products, anyway hope to see something on that soon Take care my friend

[@Ivyrose4]

Can u make a tutorial on things to do with a skinner blend?

[@PolymerClayTutor]

I may do that, but for now, if you go to my blog at www.polymerclaytutor.com and type skinner blends into the search box, you should see some of the tutorials I have already done on the subject. It would be nice to do a show and tell, showing all the different things I've used blends in though. I'll add it to the list!

[@RameyRocks]

I have seen this before but never explained this well. Where do you get 99% alcohol? Tyfs!!

[@PolymerClayTutor]

I just buy it at Costco.

[@FrankieJack]

Nail varnish remover or similar.

[@PolymerClayTutor]

I don't think nail polish remover or acetone would be a very good replacement for the Isopropyl Alcohol or rubbing alcohol... I think it would melt the stamp.

[@ClaudiaSketches]

I've found it very difficult to find rubbing alcohol where I live. It comes under many different names (rubbing alcohol, iso-propanol, propan-2-ol, isopropyl alcohol etc). All the stuff I can find where I live is dyed blue as to deter people from drinking it... which can be a problem depending on what you want to use it for (I use mine with alcohol based markers and I worry that any dye in the alcohol would interact with the dyes in the markers.) So, if your country is really strict regarding alcohol consumption, consider that it might be tricky to find! I had to order mine online (ebay or amazon, for example)- the easiest place I could find it. It is fairly cheap on there too, but shipping might be expensive depending on handling requirements

[@CupcakeCottage]

Can you use baby wipes?

[@officebluee7066]

Apparently, these beautiful molds are not available in Tanya's shoppinglonger. Wish I could find them. I am a newbie and would love to try them.

[@PolymerClayTutor]

Hi Ellen, I just saw on Facebook that Tonja is having a closeout sale of all her stamps (including this one). She is no longer making stamps and silkscreens so, once they are gone, they are gone. Here is the link if you would like to try and get one. facebook.com/pg/tonjastreasures/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10157195787110830

[@jessicajoy2409]

hey Cindy. what is that thing you used to make it flat before you use the pasta mashine?

[@PolymerClayTutor]

That's purple machine is called a NEVERknead. I have a video on it, if you want to learn more.

[@jessicajoy2409]

+PolymerClayTutor I would love that, yes. thank you so much. I love your videos. Can I write a private message for you in any way?

[@PolymerClayTutor]

Thanks! Yes just message me instead of leaving a comment.

[@jessicajoy2409]

+PolymerClayTutor okay. or can I leave a message on messenger if you have that?

[@jessicajoy2409]

+PolymerClayTutor okay. or can I leave a message on messenger if you have that?

[@Etianen7]

I did sutton slice once and I forgot to use a release agent for the mold. Even though my clay was soft, it got stuck in the mold permanently and I have had hard time cleaning it out even with acetone and a brush :/ But when I use a release agent, the clay lifts when slicing so that's difficult too.

[@vidaholmesshelli4925]

Yeap, loved it

[@RoloMonst3r]

Would it not be easier to just use a rolling pin/tool for the same effect?

[@PolymerClayTutor]

Well that wouldn't give you a different colored background. That's what's so cool about the Sutton Slice technique. If you wanted the same color, then yes, a roller or stampwould give you a dimensional look.

[@RoloMonst3r]

+PolymerClayTutor No, I meant using a rolling pin to apply the clay into the stamp. You then roll it until the rest comes away, then the background can be applied. I've used the technique before but I can't remember who told me about it.

[@PolymerClayTutor]

Oh I see what you mean, the thing with using a roller is that it won't get deep enough into the crevices and it tends to pull out when you push forward with the roller. I find it just works better if you push in the clay with your fingers. But if you find the roller method works better for you, then certainly use that. Thanks for your input!

[@monahassan1949]

where can i get this sheet?

[@loumckinney806]

Do you have a link to Tonias Treasures?

Do a video showing how to using rivets in steampunk jewelry

[@PolymerClayTutor]

I have already done a paid tutorial on doing rivets. If you want info on that, here is the link: www.beadvideos.com/back-issues-02/vol-039/

[@sifouniospottery]

Nice video. I enjoy it a lot. Thanks for sharing! Sifoutv Pottery

[@karenbitter8857]

where do I get those molds?

[@nokiot9]

Background stamps and fondant texture plates work Wells that’s what’s she has here

[@TheMade31]

Where can I buy stamps...?

[@nokiot9]

You can use any type of rubber stamp. The majority of what you see in this video are what are known as fondant texturing plates. They make them in such a way that there are no undercuts so you can pull out the clay easily. Look in the baking/cake aisle of the craft store

[@monahassan1949]

and what is it name?

[@antonshkabara3090]

I am sure you can still buy handbook with all info you need on woodprix. Just google it.

[@NewvillageArt]

Awesome!
