You're bursting with creative inspiration. You're excited because that idea you have is ready to see the light of day! So you grab that package of beautiful polymer clay. That familiar crinkling sound of the cellophane coming off gives you a little thrill.
But then it starts. The dread.
You start kneading. Or try to.
The struggle begins.
You fight to get that block of clay kneaded, conditioned, and ready for that amazing creation inside your head. You are at your wit's end! The dang thing is rock hard and will barely budge even though you are giving it all you got.
You try harder, thinking to yourself: "I will conquer this clay!" only to succumb to the pain that is rising in your hands, arms and shoulders.
You think, "maybe if I put it in my pocket, it will warm up slightly and soften up enough to knead". This barely works and you feel a little silly carrying around packets of clay in your pockets, or worse, sitting on the clay.
Humans are a resourceful bunch. So then you haul out your pasta machine. Oh sure, it compacts the clay, but also leaves a mess of little clay shards all over the place and an entire machine to clean up between colors. What a time-waster!
Sigh.
What to do?
The solution is simpler, faster, and easier than you ever dreamed possible.
The NEVERknead.

How does it work? Simple.

Say goodbye to painful hand-pressing your polymer clay, and say hello to more creativity!
YOU provide:
• any 1/2 ton (.5 ton capacity) arbor press purchased separately here on eBay (look for used ones too for more savings!) or elsewhere. Here is one. You can also purchase in person at Harbor Freight.
• optional but recommended: drill with 3/8" drill bit (.375) to bolt NEVERknead to your work table to make it more stabile
IMPORTANT: THIS PARTS KIT ONLY FITS 1/2 TON ARBOR PRESSES
NOTE: If you already have an arbor press and you are not sure if it is a 1/2 ton, measure the diameter of the bottom of the Ram. It should be 3/4 inch wide. If it's larger than that (i.e. 1 inch) then you have a one ton and that will be too large (the stomper won't fit).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Great for color blending too!
Less than 7 minutes - black and white blended to gray - start to finish.

Who Invented This Thing?
I'm a polymer clay artist.
And I was in pain from kneading.
So I invented a solution.
Well, that's the short 'n sweet answer. The long answer is that I struggled for years kneading clay by hand, and developed a very painful condition in my left shoulder and neck, plus an ugly whoppin' callous on my hand.
For years I searched for a better way to knead clay, to no avail. I couldn't believe there was nothing out there. Then I started experimenting with some ideas and in March of 2014 came up with a prototype of the current NEVERknead. I've been perfecting it ever since then and I'm thrilled to present it to you now.
It is my sincere hope to make your life as a polymer artist better and help you create your art faster and without any potential pain or discomfort from hand-kneading. I know NEVERknead works. I use it 100% for my own polyclay art. I never hand-knead. Ever.
