Simone Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hello, I am trying to build ceramic baskets using extremely fine coils of porcelain, and wanted to try making porcelain paper clay so that I can work as fine as I would like to. I am wondering where I can find the best recipe to make it, and what paper pulp I should use. Would it also be beneficial for me to add porcelain grog/molochite to the mix? Many thanks!

Min Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Jerry Bennett workshop handout for making paper clay here, it covers pretty much everything for making paper clay. For the pulp I know a lot of potters use cotton linter rather than paper cellulose. I would be inclined to try it without molochite first.

CactusPots Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 This is what you want. My advise would be 20-25% pulp. That's what I use in my paper slip for all joinery. http://www.twinrocker.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
