Again my cat is out of the bag before I have had time to do the
writing. I have been spraying a slip of paper reinforced clay into
molds with very favorable results for about a year now. I first
one such piece to cone 12 in our last wood firing getting a nice
surface but some expected warping because of the thinness of the
slab abd the elevated temperature. This summer
I plan to get the work done to write and document an article on the
process.
Is anyone else out there working with sprayed paper clay/ Would you
like to communicate/collaborate on an article?

Hi Lowell,
Maybe this is obvious and maybe I haven't been paying attention. BUT, why
is it worth bothering to spray the slip into molds instead of just pouring
them? And what kind of particle of paper is workable in paperclay slip? I
just don't understand how people get particles small enough.
thanks in advance. E.

It is hard to pour a very large mold. I am just guessing at this
point but I believe boat size pieces would not be out of the
question. I also enjoy the surface of the sprayed paper clay.
