[Nfb-krafters-korner] puzzled about clay

[River Woman]

we will begin with the very basics, assuming that we know nothing at all 
about clay - It is a very complicated and multi-layered art form, but to 
begin with, we need to be BEGINNERS together in our discussion.  We want 
folks to not be afraid of it, and give them a little place where they can 
just begin with no fears.  That is my opinion on it.
