960 Clay, a winning combination!!!
*with Paige Litfin*

Paige started the year off with her thoughtful presentation on 960 clay. If you want strong and you don't want to mess with carbon, this clay is for you. Just mix two equal parts of PMC 3 and Sterling clay. Paige had a nice handout and lots of forming, soldering and patina examples.  Thank you Paige for inspiring us.
