Visitors wanted this section as something they could keep close at hand for future reference.

Understanding which modeling clays are out there and what your options are is extremely important, not just for the beginner, but also for the aspiring professional.

Do not fall into the trap of being stuck in your ways. Early on I could only work in oil clays and wax. The the Staffordshire Potteries wanted some ceramic clay stuff from me and I was left wanting. I had to work hard to redress this one-sided skill set. As you can see, I got there in the end!

If in doubt as to what exactly a PDF file is, let me explain:-

A PDF file is a quick download file which all computers can understand.

In other words, whilst some files can only be read by PC's or alternatively by AppleMac's, PDF is a universal format that everyone's computer can read.

Foxit PDF reader is a small, light alternative to Adobe which opens PDF files in a flash.
