Hey! (1st post! Lots of great information on here, thanks guys!)
I am English and currently living in Finland near Helsinki. I want to create some sculptures over here but need quite a lot of material and so would like to buy in bulk. All I can find are art shops selling small amounts of clay. Would anyone be able to help me find a Finnish wholesales store (online or offline) where i can buy things like bags of plaster and clay?
Thank you all very much in advance, I have found this very hard indeed!

I can remember seeing a studio at the Cable Factory in Ruoholahti which sells clay. I have never been in there and I am no ceramist but I walk past the studio occasionally and saw a sign outside (sorry, I don't remember the name of the studio).

Thanks alot!
I did not think it would be this hard to get materials. I wonder, if they sell clay in a studio they must know a wholesale store where they buy it, so this could be very useful indeed! I will have to get down there when I can!
Anyway thanks again for the reply!
