The 'Scarva Paper Clay range' have proved popular with those who prefer making hand-built ceramics or sculptural forms.
The clay is mixed with flax fibres which are all natural and will burn out when fired.
Texture: Smooth.
Unfired characteristics: Soft and white.
Fired colour: White.
Shrinkage: 16% from wet to fired (1200°C).
900°C to 1280°C (cone 010 - cone 9).
For optimum translucency it is recommended to fire between 1240°C to 1280°C (cone 6 - cone 9).
A very plastic malleable clay, ideal for small modelling or figurines, small sculpture and hand built projects. Do not be afraid to go thin, as that is what paper clays are good at.
Be prepared for the ventilation of kiln and room when firing as it will smoke a little from the organic fibres burning out.
As the clay contains crystalline silica avoid inhaling the dust from dried out clay. Wear a FFP/P3 mask and filters, wash hands after use and clean up using a damp sponge. Dust off dirty clothes and aprons outside.

As ever, quick and efficient delivery
Free and fast delivery, could not be more impressed. I managed to get glazes that I have been told by another supplier, will not be in until October.
My favourite clay I usually buy elsewhere but Hot Clay supplied a good quality product at a reduced price compared to my usual supplier,
Lovely clay to use, running into problems when firing high temp. Forms slumping. Any tips welcome!
A great product. Easy to work with, especially compared with plain porcelain. Fires well but beware the fumes during the stage when the paper fibres are burning off.
Good price and delivery from HotClay.
