Worbla Black Art

Worbla’s Black Art is a sister product to Worbla’s Finest Art, with a smoother texture and more adhesive, allowing for fine detail sculpting and a very robust finish that allows for more extreme flexibility and shock tolerance.

Worbla’s Black Art is non-toxic and skin safe and can be shaped by hand without requiring special safety gear. Black Art can take complex curves without requiring a vacuform, and is self-adhesive when activated – meaning that glues are not required to join pieces. You use hot air, water or steam to shape the plastic however you want. There’s no waste because your scraps can be conditioned and 100% re-blended. These leftovers can be molded to act just like putty, and many artists use Worbla’s Black Art instead of clay to create near-indestructible pieces.

Worbla’s Black Art can be painted with just about any paint, wax or finish. Black Art’s texture is finer compared to Finest Art, and you may choose to leave it unprimed before painting it, or prime it with products such as Flexbond, Gesso, or PVA glue. Black Art will need less priming than Finest Art, which can save time on larger builds.
