Hey Cammo,

What I have on hand is several 50 lb bags of buff colored - cone 10 - high fire sculpture clay that I would be happy to donate for us to have some fun with...it has a little bit grainier texture than most low fire clays, but it is more forgiving in the kin for sculpture. I have low fired this clay before for completed works and it holds up fine...I have even worked with low fire glazes on this clay with success. I can explain and demo at the chop if a few decide that this is something they might like to try. Whatever we come up with, our pieces would have to be dried and bisque fired before we could glaze them...again, I could work everyone through this process. I have a large kin. But it is not hooked up right now...we could all bisque fire and glaze fire these works at any one of these "paint it yourself" little ceramic places that are everywhere for very little money. All in all, it would allow everyone to party and get their hands dirty on a different media as a little change of pace.
