Thanks everyone. Kiln is on with Alumina dusted between the sheet. Fingers crossed it works. Ill let you all know how it goes

Thanks Bill

Hi Min and Jeff thank you both. I used Silica sand under them ( I stacked about 5 on top of each other) when I first bisqued them and everything was fine. I then refired to 1220 same way again but nothing between the pieces and they all fused together slightly. I was able to get them apart but broke a couple in the process. I am wanting to go straight to 1220, not a seperate bisque and higher firing, but wondered if I can put the sand in between the pieces without them effecting them in any way. I imagine it will just dust off? Jeff I like your idea but I think it might be a bit difficult as the pieces are like pages of a book, very thin and hard to do top and bottom I think.

Hello everyone I am experimenting with making really thin sheets of midfire porcelain paper clay sheets and they're working beautifully. I stacked them on top of each other in the bisque and they were fine but when I refired them to 1220deg c they stuck together slightly and as they were so thin I lost a couple trying to pry them apart. Could I sprinkle silica sand between each sheet or is this likely to stick to the sheets? thanks in advance

Thanks everyone. Success so far but yet to fire the sheets. They have dried beautifully. Fingers crossed

hello everyone. I am hoping you might be able to help. I am wanting to make VERY thin sheets of clay so they are like paper. Firstly what kind of clay would I use. I’ve seen porcelain paper clay as one option/ I also wondered if I could pour porcelain slip onto a kiln shelf and let it dry on that? appreciate any suggestions Erika
