Discover how choosing suitable clays with the right properties can make all the difference in helping you achieve your project goals! Whether you’re a sculptor, mold-maker, special effects artist, or you’re simply curious about what makes these clays unique, our "Clay Sommelier" and Chavant Brand Manager Janessa Portner is here to take you on a hands-on tour of different clays and how they best align to your unique workflows.
