- State all materials and sources used within the tutorial at the beginning of your article.
- All photographs should be taken using a landscape (horizontal) format, without altering the position of the camera if possible. Items show up best on a plain light background.

- To send your photos, article and bio to Metal Clay Today, we recommend ‘Dropbox’, a free program for file sharing.
- A video or link to a video which demonstrates your technique for inclusion in the article is an option.
