[Nfb-krafters-korner] Clay discussions

Thu Sep 8 19:55:53 UTC 2011

Sure.  I am willing to do it, but please bare with me as Joyce can tell you
I'm a bit on the scatter brained side and sometimes need reminding when the
day of the discussion comes up.

JOSELI:  How about doing this with me - one or two discussions on using clay
-  could we talk  together to design a plan for each part? Would you be
willing to do that with me? We also have another member here who is a fine
arts potter/sculptor, Jeannie N - so I think between the 3 of us we could
put together a nice discussion or two. What do you think?

The kind I used required that you work pretty fast - I think we got it from
Dick Blick. We used it for some small projects in one of my classes with
good results. Then, we painted it with acrylic paints when dry.

 Maybe YOU could be the discussion leader for the fast drying/non-fired clay
and I can do stoneware and terracotta/low fire clay use.
