©2010 P'Clay® and P'Slip® / US Patent Number 5,726,111. Because there are variables beyond my control (selections clays, papers, water, mixing errors and etc) always pre test samples and use at your own risk.
why beginners and kids prefer paperclay
1. P'Clay® when it is air hardened is about twice as strong. Therefore: Transport unfired work without fear... even in the back of the car to the nearest kiln, or home etc. If it gets bumped and breaks.... it can be easily repaired and patched.
2. Broken ears, tails, handles and the like can be sent back to the maker for repeat practice, revision, re-attachement, reinforcement, alteration, and or redesign as often as needed. No shame, no blame. Repeat practice is rewarded. Allows learners get hand eye confidence and skill so eases the transition and learning curve with to traditional clay later.
3. If no time to fire....there's ways to finish for air set take home.
Get white or buff fire paperclay for beginners of any age. Darker red-iron colored paper clays stain clothes, hands, and table tops if you are not careful. Ask your supplier to help you choose.
