    Well, that is an unfortunate comparison, and actually, not that
    accurate. 

    It's quite different from Play-Doh. 

    Metal clay can be folded like origami (paper type). It can be joined
    to itself with water or slip. It can be allowed to dry and then
    carved. It can be fired and then formed over a mandrel. It can be
    enameled.
