Hallo and many thanks for the helpful tutorial… I live in the UK and recently bought a slab of natural air-dried clay from a local pottery (not the plastic type sold in crafts shops), with which I hope to make buttons and pendants.. So am wondering whether your instructions would still be suitable for this type of clay (apart from the kiln-firing), please?
Thanks – Bea x
