1:30 PM - 4:00 PM	Paper Clay Workshop - Learn how to make paper clay! - Paper Clay Workshop - Learn how to make paper clay - Spring 2025 - Jacqueline McDonough If you have never worked with paper clay you are missing out! Paper can be added to any clay body and is easy to work with. Once fired the clay is so light....and there is so much more you can do with it!, This workshop will demonstrate the process so you can make your own. I will share a no fail recipe and simple process that you can do yourself whenever you want to mix up a batch. No math needed!, We will also discuss the properties of paper clay and applications. Then we'll mix some "slurry" that I previously made into a 1/4 bag of clay per student and see what we can do! We will be hand building but paper clay is also great for wheel work., This is a one day 5 hour workshop. All supplies including clay plus snacks are included.
