[Nfb-krafters-korner] speakers and creative ideas

[joseli Walter]

I use several types of air dry clay for my projects.  It's not the strongest
stuff in the world, but it's good for little sculptures and such.
The longest part of your project is usually the drying stage which generally
takes at least 3 days.

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.
