Even various Polymer Clay manufacturers are divided on what to call the hardening process. Premo clay says "Baking should be completed by an adult". Fimo clay says "Harden in home oven..." and Kato polyclay says "Bake in oven at..." although the front of the package says "oven hardening". I believe many Artists are just as divided on what to call the process. I'm curious...what do you prefer to say??
About process...I just finished and listed a new tutorial, based on some recent projects. Here is one for

I find myself using bake and harden mostly. Never notice all the terms.
Interesting question and yes, now that you mention it, it IS a bit confusing. I've always used the words "cure"/"curing", though not sure why. I think those were the words used in the books that I origianlly learnt from. I also suspect I wasn't drawn to the word "bake" because "cure" has a bit more of a "art" background sound to it and I guess I keep trying to distance our art/craft from that of Kindergartners playing with Sculpey.
Definitely 'cure'! What Melobeau said...
