[Nfb-krafters-korner] Clay questions

Sometimes
Depends on the type of clay and how much water you had to use when making
your project.

Gee whiz are you telling me that the moisture in the clay weighs that much,
that when it dries you can really feel the difference in weight?

It's  generally very hard and a lot lighter than when you made  it.

Is there a way to tell on the air dry clay when it is  totally dry?  

I know I had asked last night the steps of process  and Joseli said, Make it
and let it dry, paint it with acrylic  paint  and let it dry[that does not
take long] and then use a finishing spray on  it  outside [as it smells[ and
let it dry.

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.
