craftgrrl | Calling All Clay Crafters !!!!

It's my first post to this wonderful community ! And I'm calling all clay crafters 'cause I need help.
I'm thinking about doing some clay jewelry, but I know NOTHING about clay.

What kind of clay should I use ? (Fimo, paper clay, etc...)
Is there any special instructions ?
How do we remove finger prints ?
What kind of glaze should I use ?
Are there online shops were I could buy stuff ? -I live in Canada-

And so on, ans so forth...
So I would be really happy if you could help me out guys !
Oh, and, if you got any tutorial (Not the ones on DA, I got them all U_U) for kawaii things (swwets like macaroon, cakes, and so on), it would be much appreciated !
