I started to set up to make a new model a couple of weeks ago and have my usual box form on the easel ready to fill with clay,
but then I discovered the raku clay I have had sitting around was too stiff to really work well, and the one box of Continental Course Red clay I have is not enough.
I went to Continental’s web site and was going to order just a couple of boxes, 100# worth but the UPS shipping charge shown was like $70 from Minneapolis to Iowa for about $30 worth of clay, so I closed the window and didn’t order it.
Wow, the UPS shipping rates have gotten insane, and Continental can’t be more than only zone 2 since it’s only a 4 hour drive away.
Guess I’ll wait a while or order 1000# later, but this is the lion I want to do about 16-1/2 x 22″
