It would be interesting to learn about what other options we could use
doing clay. The kiln is something that intimmidates me. That I would need to
go out and find a place, transportation, teacher willing to work with me[I
know I am wining now], but if I could play a little at home by myself, then
that might spark my interest. Clay is such a tactile thing I would like
to give it a try.

I do not have experience with non-fired clay but maybe someone else here
does? If not, I can begin to investigate and we can explore it
together...ok? Maybe someone here has a lot more experience with that than
I
have - I only used it once in a classromm at the college, for a specific
project, but I can begin to check that out.
