Rolling and Conditioning Polymer Clay

Properly conditioned clay is so important in ensuring quality baking conditions. Many clay beginners start off using an acrylic hand roller, and while effective, it doesn't take long before your hands begin to cramp. For smooth and perfect width clay every time, I like to use a Pasta Machine. There are so many clay machines on the market and they range in prices from $30-$1200. My favorite machine has been from an Italian company called MARCATO. I purchased mine on Amazon, I will include the direct link here. Feel free to do your research on various clay tools, for me the MARCATO 8342 Atlas Wide Pasta Roller (180mm) is what I use to create all of my earrings.
