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 light grey.
Fired colour: White.
Shrinkage: 8% from wet to fired (1100°C).
1080°C to 1180°C (cone 03 - cone 4).
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 an FFP/P3 mask and filters, wash hands after use and clean up using a damp sponge. Dust off dirty clothes and aprons outside.
