Question
I cant get to a kiln or afford one. I wanna try to do it in my oven but i don't know if it will work...Can it be done?  If it can, can u tell me how.

Answer
Dear Anthony,

Yes, it can be done, but you need to use a clay specifically designed for it. Depending upon what you're wanting to make, there are a variety of 'no bake' clays also. They are usually referred to as "Specialty Clays." If you'll tell me what you're desiring to make, I can recommend the best suited clay.
