[Nfb-krafters-korner] Clay questions

[Blindhands at aol.com]

This was one of my questions last night that I got an answer for:
4. How long does it typically take air-dry clay to dry  completely?


Joseli  said,   This depends on the size of the project you  are doing.  
small projects can dry in a few hours  and larger ones  take longer.  She said 
that she has done large projects and let them   dry for a week.  I do not 
know how large this project was.

I'm very  sorry I missed this, especially as I was hoping to have some 
questions  answered.

1. Are there particular brands of air-dry clay you would  recommend? I have 
arthritis in my hands, so I am particularly hoping to  find some 
easy-to-mold 
clays.

2. Do various clays vary in the  texture while you are working the clay? do 
they vary in texture or  porousness--is that the correct term?--once they 
have dried?

3. Can  air-dry clays be glazed once they are cured?

4. How long does it  typically take air-dry clay to dry completely?

5. Are there any books  or Web sites which you can recommend for working 
with 
air-dry clay? How  about tools or tool sets which you would recommend to 
use 
with air-dry  clay?

Thank you for any answers you can provide, and I'm sorry I have  so many 
questions.
