Acrylic Block and Roller: Uses in Art and Craft
Acrylic Block • Acrylic blocks are clear, sturdy tools commonly used in polymer clay crafting and stamping.
• In clay work, they help flatten, press, and shape clay evenly, and can also be used to hold cling stamps for imprinting designs onto clay or paper.
• Their transparency allows for precise placement, and they can also be used to soften clay, embed charms, or cube scrap clay for storage.
Acrylic Roller
• Acrylic rollers are smooth, cylindrical tools ideal for rolling out clay to an even thickness, essential for polymer clay, pottery, and other crafts.
• Compared to wooden rollers, acrylic rollers provide a non-stick, uniform surface, preventing unwanted textures from transferring to the clay.
• Some acrylic rollers come with thickness guides to ensure consistent results.
• They are also used to condition clay by flattening or softening it before sculpting.
