of this clay and most of it is still unopened 25 years later since it is so crappy to work with. For some reason ot always is too dry, crumbles and takes forever to soften. It is so bad that my hands got cramps. I finally made a pipe that is really cool but then a friend said I can't use it since it would poison me since I never cooked the final piece in an oven.
