Quick Overview of New 2014 Sculpey & Premo Products

00:00:03 –> 00:00:07 Hi guys, its Cindy Lietz, your Polymer Clay Tutor, and today’s PcT Product Demo, we

00:00:08 –> 00:00:12 are talking about the new products for Sculpey and Premo for 2014.

00:00:12 –> 00:00:19 Now, Polyform sent me this big box of all their newest products for this year, and there

00:00:19 –> 00:00:22 is a lot of great stuff in there and I’m gonna show it all to you.

00:00:22 –> 00:00:28 They’ve brought out a lot of new tools, some supplies and even a whole new line of

00:00:28 –> 00:00:29 clay.

00:00:29 –> 00:00:33 Now I think they’ve done a really good job of listening to what we need as a community,

00:00:33 –> 00:00:37 and brought us some products that we’re really gonna use this time.

00:00:37 –> 00:00:42 Now there is tons in here, so I’m gonna show them all to you, but I won’t be able

00:00:42 –> 00:00:44 to show them to you in very much detail.

00:00:44 –> 00:00:51 So make sure to leave… in the comment section after the video, to let me know which ones

00:00:51 –> 00:00:56 you want me to do videos on first, the ones with the most popular votes on them will get

00:00:56 –> 00:01:00 shown first, and the others will take longer to see them, okay?

00:01:00 –> 00:01:06 Alright, so let’s take a look at what we’ve got here, now as you can see, there’s lots

00:01:06 –> 00:01:07 of new stuff.

00:01:07 –> 00:01:14 First of all, the first one I’ll show you…it is a bead maker, now this is a little different

00:01:14 –> 00:01:18 than the other bead makers that are out there, this one will roll three different sizes of

00:01:18 –> 00:01:24 round beads, and it has the little clay measurers in there, so it should be easier to use, so

00:01:24 –> 00:01:29 I’m looking forward to trying this one out.

00:01:29 –> 00:01:37 There is also a new bead making kit, this one comes in a reusable package, it’s got

00:01:37 –> 00:01:42 a little roller, a clay blade, it’s got a piece of acrylic, so if you want to roll

00:01:42 –> 00:01:47 lentil beads, you can use it for that, or for flattening out square canes and things

00:01:47 –> 00:01:53 like that, it’s got a bead awl, a cutter and it’s got a little piece of fiber for

00:01:53 –> 00:02:00 baking on, like a little baking mat, and a booklet in there for bead making, which sounds

00:02:00 –> 00:02:01 interesting.

00:02:01 –> 00:02:08 Another new product they brought out is a clay bead baking rack, now this one is sort

00:02:08 –> 00:02:12 of interesting, it’s got…it’s different than what’s out there, it’s very small,

00:02:12 –> 00:02:18 as you can see, it’s a triangular kinda shaped rack with some notches in it and these

00:02:18 –> 00:02:24 long pins, apparently the pins fit in the rack, I’m curious on how this one is going

00:02:24 –> 00:02:27 to work in comparison to what has been out there.

00:02:27 –> 00:02:35 What else have we got…oh, this one excites me, it is a hollow bead maker, now let me

00:02:35 –> 00:02:43 show you what it looks like, it is just a piece of metal with these domes on it, we’ve

00:02:43 –> 00:02:50 used…in the past, we’ve used things like paint palettes for making hollow lentil beads

00:02:50 –> 00:02:55 and things like that, what’s neat about this particular design is that it has several

00:02:55 –> 00:03:01 sizes on it and it’s got a matte finish on it, so that means that when you bake on

00:03:01 –> 00:03:09 it, it won’t be shiny, so we can use either the dome side or the convex side, and I think

00:03:09 –> 00:03:14 there’s gonna be some very interesting uses for this that maybe these guys hadn’t thought

00:03:14 –> 00:03:20 of…I’ve got some ideas myself on what I could use that for.

00:03:20 –> 00:03:25 Another thing they came out with is a tool organizer, now, we all start getting a lot

00:03:25 –> 00:03:32 of tools and we need somewhere to put them, this looks like a neat little setup, it will

00:03:32 –> 00:03:40 hold your clay rollers, your… all kinds of little needle tools and sculpting tools,

00:03:40 –> 00:03:46 it even has a slot for putting in texture plates and your acrylic rod and a whole bunch

00:03:46 –> 00:03:51 of stuff, so I think this one’s gonna be a useful one.

00:03:51 –> 00:03:58 They also came out with a little selection of wet/dry sandpaper, it comes in 400, 600,

00:03:58 –> 00:04:04 800 and 1000 grit, exactly what we need, the only thing is, is I’m a little disappointed

00:04:04 –> 00:04:08 in the size and the number of pieces in there, I think we’re gonna go through this very

00:04:08 –> 00:04:14 quickly and I’m not sure if that’s enough sandpaper to be honest.

00:04:14 –> 00:04:19 Another thing that is a great product by the looks of it, I haven’t tried it yet, is

00:04:19 –> 00:04:28 the clay silk screen kit, now it has a bunch of different silk screens in here and the

00:04:28 –> 00:04:34 patterns are really, really pretty, and they can be used for…and they’re perfectly

00:04:34 –> 00:04:42 suited for jewelry size, it also comes with some acrylic paints in gold and silver and

00:04:42 –> 00:04:47 a little squeegee, so you have everything you need to get started with doing silk screening,

00:04:47 –> 00:04:51 that’s a good one, ‘cause we’ve been buying them from everybody else, so they might

00:04:51 –> 00:04:53 as well have some too.

00:04:53 –> 00:05:02 This is a new set that looks very interesting, they are silicone molds, and they’re the

00:05:02 –> 00:05:09 type of silicone that can be baked in, which has some cool purposes, and this one is a

00:05:09 –> 00:05:14 cabochon mold, it molds different shaped cabochons…

00:05:14 –> 00:05:22 Teardrop shapes, Donut shapes, Triangle kinda shapes, and this one here is also a bake-able

00:05:22 –> 00:05:28 mold, but this one is the bezel shapes, so they have some corresponding shapes for bezels

00:05:28 –> 00:05:33 that you can put behind the cabochons which sounds very cool, so I think you’ll see

00:05:33 –> 00:05:35 me do some cool stuff with that.

00:05:35 –> 00:05:39 Another thing they came out with, which I don’t understand why they didn’t do this

00:05:39 –> 00:05:45 a long time ago, ‘cause we’ve been buying these from everybody else, is…they are some

00:05:45 –> 00:05:52 graduated cutters, now they’re perfectly sized for jewelry making yet again, in fact,

00:05:52 –> 00:05:58 this round set will correspond with the hollow bead maker, so when you’re cutting out the

00:05:58 –> 00:06:03 discs to put on the…to make your lentil hollow beads, these cutters will work beautifully

00:06:03 –> 00:06:11 for that, they have a round set, a diamond set, oval and teardrop, and each set has 6

00:06:11 –> 00:06:16 pieces in them, so that’s a nice set and they all sit together nicely in your drawer.

00:06:16 –> 00:06:26 And lastly, they brought out a whole new line of clay called Soufflé, now, this…I’m

00:06:26 –> 00:06:33 very excited about getting to try this, this is an interesting clay, it is very similar,

00:06:33 –> 00:06:38 from what I hear…I’m gonna be doing some PcT Test Labs on it, but it’s supposed to

00:06:38 –> 00:06:44 be very similar to the Studio by Sculpey clay, now I have some Studio by Sculpey clay, so

00:06:44 –> 00:06:50 I can test them directly against each other, but it’s kinda got a suede finish to it,

00:06:50 –> 00:06:58 apparently it’s very strong and very light weight, it comes in I believe 22 colors, I’d

00:06:58 –> 00:07:04 have to look that up to know exactly, but they’re very interesting colors, they’re

00:07:04 –> 00:07:08 kinda designer colors that are quite pretty from the pack, we’ll have to see how well

00:07:08 –> 00:07:12 they do, color mixing wise, ‘cause sometimes these designer colors don’t mix together

00:07:12 –> 00:07:17 very predictably, but they’re very pretty and we’ll see what we can do with that.

00:07:17 –> 00:07:25 I’m guessing that you could do a lot of faux leathers, and great… some organic looking

00:07:25 –> 00:07:26 projects and stuff with them.

00:07:26 –> 00:07:32 They also look like they’ve got some sets…so you can buy little sampler sets of them as

00:07:32 –> 00:07:33 well.

00:07:33 –> 00:07:37 So I don’t know the pricing of these pieces too much, I’d have to look that all up,

00:07:37 –> 00:07:41 depending on which country you’re from and all that, but the products look interesting

00:07:41 –> 00:07:45 and exciting, and I’m gonna be doing a lot of neat stuff with them.

00:07:45 –> 00:07:50 So let me know which ones you want me to do a little bit more detailed videos on first

00:07:50 –> 00:07:51 in the comment section below.

00:07:51 –> 00:07:54 I hope you liked that, and if you did, let us know.

00:07:54 –> 00:07:56 And we will see you next time, bye for now.

Our goal is to translate these videos into as many languages as possible. If you are interested in helping with this initiative, then please do contact us and we will figure out a way to make it worth your while :)
