Because there are variables beyond my control (clays, papers, water, mixing errors and etc) always pre test fire what you have before a big project. No guarantee can be offered that 'alternative" commercial paperclays now on the market will meet the all the performance advantages of my high performance trademark P'Clay® brand only available from licensed manufacturers/distributors.

A Potential for Paperclay Water Filters: An Artist’s View
Rosette Gault
The potential for porous ceramic paperclay to lower costs of domestic water filtration in developing countries is discussed, with an artist’s view toward design of filters in the future that are as easy to use, and to look at, as they are multi-purpose and contribute to a long range vision of a sustainable society.

Early Stage Research Water Filtration: Clean Water for All
A Call for Research on Porous Ceramic paperclay (using recycled paper as the source of cellulose fiber)
Exhibit at Seattle Tacoma International Airport March - June 2012
Concours A, Gate 1: Some of my models and visions. Grafity feed and vacuum reverse osmosis candle models are shown.
The watercolor that inspired me to do this work is on view. The vision of "Clean Water for All" was a shared dream of Ron Rivera and many at Potters for Peace.
We women want "beautility" in the kitchen. Rosette made the models on the potters wheel and by handbuilding, there are universal fittings and straws to indicate where the warer might flow in or out of the filter. Very many variations are possible. You will see, feet, body, lids, and handle, like a teapot design. We coud even add filter in a pour spout, The properties of my recipes of paperclay allow a new way of assembly that would streamline the manufacture process. Research is is needed to find the exact paramenters of my vision The series of articles in Ceramics Technical continue.
