Working with Paperclay and Other Additives
Paperclay is a relatively new pottery medium involving the addition of paper or other organic material to conventional clay in order to give it strength and flexibility. For the past ten years, it has been the subject of experimentation in Scotland, where the author lives, and in several other countries. This highly technical account includes discussions and illustrations of the work of ceramic artists who work with this type of clay. There are no projects as such, but the description of materials and methods is valuable for potters working with this medium. This book is recommended for academic and public libraries supporting advanced potters.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
