I'm taking a ceramics class in college and I know NOTHING about clay or any necessary supplies. My professor gave out a very basic list of items needed for the class with no descriptions. I went in and let the girls behind the counter know that I knew nothing and needed clay. They were so helpful and gave me some descriptions of what to expect with a few different types of clay. This was so awesome that they cater to seasoned, talented artists and brand new confused people! I feel so much more confident for my class now that I've had some help.
