Elain Shows Us How To MakePaper Clay

                                                       One of Elaines own pieces.

                                          You will need: Tissue, buckets, a jug, some molds, porcelain and some muslin.

 Mix the dried porcelain chips in with water .

In the other bucket you should have ripped up pieces of paper that have ben soaking in water over night. Usin the msulin you then drain them- not completely however. You then add it to the clay bucket which will make hopefully then after stirring have a porridge like consistancy.

You then spread the paper clay onto the mold in gradual layers. It dries relatively quickly so if you wanted you could even add a black clay colour over the first layer to create a monotone effect.

Elaine then lay out the semi-rigid clay and using a ruler slowly folded up it's sides enabling her to make a building out of it... the sides are then stuck together using some moist paperclay as a slip.
