First though…Who are we?
We're the crew from Pal Tiya International, and sculpting is what we care about. Between us, we've sculpted for decades and used every sculpting material on the planet (no joke). We created Pal Tiya Premium, a versatile weatherproof medium for outdoor sculpture that is non-firing, and gorgeous to use.
Thousands of creative people across the globe have fallen in love with the possibilities of our medium.

Why use Pal Tiya Premium as well as or instead of Paper Mâché?
Paper Mâché is a great medium to use for indoor projects.
However, we here at Pal Tiya International love making sculptures for the outdoors. When using paper mâché , you can make your armature out of cardboard, old containers, balloons, tinfoil, tinfoil and wire...
With our product, Pal Tiya Premium (PTP) we use tinfoil armatures, we can add wire and such if we are doing more delicate areas.
Making armatures for your permanent scuptures using Pal Tiya Premium couldn't be easier. Pal Tiya Premium is mixed from a powder (with water) into a fabric "cookie dough" clay-like product, which goes on as a thin skin over a crushed tinfoil armature. You can, however, use anything to bulk out your form such as cardboard, old food containers etc and cover them with crushed foil using a hot glue gun.
Because you can grow to any size with our medium, learn all you need to know when planning an armature for Pal Tiya Premium sculptures here.
Using foil as a core/armature is good because it's stiff and immediately self-supporting. It's a rich and subtle sculpting material in its own right. Foil can get the delicate complex forms of the human figure with no extra effort. It's possible to do a complete a large core/armature in a few hours.
So, make a crinkly foil armature, mix up our product, apply & sculpt then cure (see further down page for this).
