cf66 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I just came back from Ceramics London 2012 (amazing!!!) and saw for the first time a material some artists use for slipcasting that's just out of this world amazing: Parian. It's a type of porcelain that has the feel of statuary marble. Maybe you all already know it but I was blown away by how beautiful it is. Apparently it's very common in England and France but I haven't seen anything like it ever on our side of the pond. Makes our porcelain look like B-Mix! Anyone know whether it's available in the West Coast or anywhere in America? Or any similar material? This looks milky white, extremely smooth and it's light as a feather. Thanks in advance!

Prokopp Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Everything old is new again, huh? Nah, I don't know where to buy it. You might check Dennis Barker's book, I think there are some recipes in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
