Our 5 y.o. has gotten interested in sculpture - and particularly
in pottery. She would like to dig up our backyard and turn it
into figurines. I found a source for Mexican red pottery clay,
which air dries, but have to admit that we do have some
remarkable clay beds on the property. I have only the vaguest
idea of what's involved, but hey - can it be anything but fun to
play in the mud? We do not have a local potter who could do
some hands on, so I am looking for books or videos, I guess. TIA
