Paper Clay

Paper clay is an exciting development in the ceramics field. It is easy to use, extremely strong in the unfired state, easy to repair at nearly every stage of the forming process, and the final glazed and fired result can be indistinguishable from that using conventional clay. Yet the result is much lighter than normal. This feature is particularly useful for wall installations and delicate sculptural forms. All in all, paper clay is a flexible technique that provides the artist with exciting possibilities.Gault, Rosette is the author of 'Paper Clay', published 1999 under ISBN 9789057038716 and ISBN 9057038714.
