We will be using Project X Silver Clay which will be available to purchase from the instructor in class at cost.  Please note that the cost of silver clay fluctuates with the silver market. Students are, of course, allowed to bring their own Project X silver clay to class.  We use the Project X .999 Flex preparation available from Clay Revolution. Please do not bring other brands as the firing temperatures and times differ slightly from clay brand to clay brand.

In addition, you will receive numerous handouts during the 6 weeks of the course which will give you further information on the subject and what we do in class.

Payment is accepted in class by PayPal, Venmo or cash.  Thank you.
