- We will prepare all materials, tools, and containers for the clay work.
- We usually use soft and manageable lightweight clay. Occasionally we may use other clay, such as polymer clay for making accessories or delicate works or air dry clay for decorating works.
- Please feel free to contact us about the number of people, target age, and for budget.
