I've read many statements from clay users about beads and such. None from skulptors. I tried the new Premo, . . egads! it's like trying to skulpt a marshmello! Very dissapointed! Will try leaching and other tricks, but am avidly reading anything and everything from others trying to make this new stuff usable! Any advice will be very very welcome!

He said he likes the opacity of the clay [when you see the complexity of the blends, you'll understand why the opacity is important] and that he likes the colors right out of the packages, so it meets several needs for him. Well, and when you are supporting your family by experimenting and going through a LOT of clay, "Free Clay" probably meets some very important needs, too! I don't think Dan does a lot of sanding, and his work tends to be veneered over other clay, so the sandability and brittleness issues are probably not issues he has to worry about. But I do think Polyform is smart to get the clay in to the hands of some top-level artists.
