When I use silver clay I tend to air dry it overnight. There's got to be a quicker way...is there?

Loads of ways to dry clay but air drying reduces the chance of warping :)
Here's a Blog post I did about some of the drying methods....

If you use a hairdryer pop it onto mesh (or risk your clay blowing accross the room, lol)
