Worbla’s® Finest Art

The original formula, Worbla’s Finest Art was the first of the Worbla line of products and is still an industry favorite. This product has great self-adhesion, excellent stretch over curves, and an orange-peel-like texture. Finest Art is often used for large builds such as the base of armor, as well as for more organic shapes. It is a favorite for classroom use with the easiest learning curve

Worbla can take complex curves without requiring a vacuformer 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% reheated. If you have never seen Worbla handled or tried it yourself, customers often compare it to clay, fruit leather or beeswax when heated: becoming pliable and taking detail well, becoming hard and stable when cool. Worbla can be built up in layers, shaped over forms of foam, foil, wire or similar armatures.

Worbla has been seen everywhere from editorial photo spreads, to builds by Grant Imahara and Adam Savage of Mythbusters, to the floor of San Diego Comic Con, and on stage with Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour and numerous Cirque du Soleil shows.
