Okay I sell beads, but I also do pottery as a hobby. So I'm always looking for a way to combine both of these. It would allow me to write off much of my hobby, plus I would be creating unique beads. I belong to one group on the Internet called Beads-of-Clay, they have lots of good advice for someone trying to create a beads from clay, I'm looking for ways to more or less mass produce clay beads.

I am testing and trying different techniques in an effort to give back to the beading / ceramics community some of what I have gotten. I am offering up my experiments for the world to see.

Often when people think of clay beads they think of Polymer Clay or PMC. This is NOT what I'm doing. I am working with clays that are fired at temperatures that can only be achieved in a kiln
