Do you form rolled clay over core material or "paint" with paste (how many layers?)) An instructor told my daughter to go outside and burn with a torch. Why is this necessary and do you recommend that process rather than your firing without lid first phase, etc? What do you recommend for creating a tail on a bird so that it does not droop or break off easily? Also, how would I imprint a design on such a small piece? Thanks!
