*It's recommended that you first bake a test batch to check your oven temperatures and cook time.
Pinch off a small ball of clay and shape it into a disc approximately 1/4 inch thick and 1/2 inch in diameter.
Bake the piece according to package directions, remove from the oven and check for any darkened areas. This means your oven is too hot, lower the temperature by 10F and retest!
