How To Make Paper Clay

If you haven't yet started collecting your FREE Art Hobby Guides, do pop over to Art Hobby or the Top of Main Page here. Add your details, name/email and you will receive your Free guides. They will arrive in sequence, starting with "How to Make Paper Clay" and "How to Make a Plaster Bat or Slab" You need to make the plaster bat first.
If you need to order plaster powder, I buy mine from www.tiranti.co.uk I use their Dental Plaster.

Comment by Diane Stafford on May 11, 2008 at 5:53pm: My apologies I am sooo behind on my schedule of additions here and to www.arthobby.co.uk members - juggling the plates of life! Updates as soon as possible.

Comment by Diane Stafford on May 2, 2008 at 8:02pm: Update on the papercrete elf house for Grants Elf Architecture - drying out nicely, although some mold developed inside, (the joys of UK wet/damp weather) where some sticks/twigs were inserted for holding up the roof structure. Brickettes are fabulous.

Comment by Diane Stafford on March 24, 2008 at 8:14am: The Glazing test results are on the All fired up thread

Comment by Diane Stafford on March 24, 2008 at 5:11am: off to check my kiln now for the glazing results.

Comment by Diane Stafford on March 24, 2008 at 5:11am: Member Dawn has inspired the start of the Glass Creations group - if you are interested in using glass in any way shape or form, please do join the group. I plan to do some glass in clay tests (eventually) and will post my results there.

Comment by Diane Stafford on March 23, 2008 at 10:24pm: My kiln has been on again, with a glaze firing. It's been off now for several hours and a quick check shows it's cooling nicely, frustratingly, it's not cool enough for me to open and look at the finished pieces (drat) - I will have to wait until morning...... temptation!!! I'll take a snap or two of the results.
