Work Safety:

Surely you know that consuming plastic(or whatever) is not what we're in this for. MY care and use begins with safety, and ends with the finest work possible per ounce of consumption.

What you do is your business, but .

But don't EAT the stuff!

Starting Tips

Dusting the work area is always allowed, but cover the clay first. In fact, I never set a peice of clay or cane down with taking a habitual swipe across the surface. One eyelash could cost you precious millefiore slices!!

Work Surfaces and Wipes

I use melamine. It's not too slick, and blade scars can be sanded away. Use Fantastik™ to deep clean. Shop wipes(not paper towel) work great because of their tight weave, and toughness. I take a few and cut them into 3" squares that are also handy for wiping pasta machine rollers/scrapers. These towels are a bit expensive, but you'll be suprised how long the roll will last when you cut them up this way...or that!
