Handy Hints:

• Wash any dirt and oils off hands, surfaces and tools with dishwashing liquid to prep for sculpting
• Prepare clay by kneading until smooth and pliable, can be shaped with tools or press moulds
• Baking times may vary. In general, allow 30 mins of baking time for every 6mm of thickness - test run recommended
• Under normal baking at the correct temperature may generate a small amount of fumes. Baking at higher than recommended temperatures can cause increased fumes and should be avoided (all fumes are non-toxic)
