For a beginner, polymer and air dry clays are great for making all kinds of very realistic miniatures and models. If you like working with your hands, and have limited work or storage space, this may be a great hobby for you. The materials you need to get started are inexpensive, and many clays are suitable for use by children. You can make any color of polymer clay from a blend of the three primary colors (red, yellow and blue) plus black, white and translucent, and air dry clays can be colored with water color or acrylic paints.
First learn about the types of polymer clay and air dry clay so you can pick something that suits your work style, then look for projects and information to help develop your skills.
