I don't know how much paper clay you are talking about. I don't use
much and when I mix it in the blender, I end up with way more than I can
use right away. I stick it in the freezer and thaw it in the microwave
when I need it. You can even freeze it in ice cube trays and thaw it as
needed in small quantities.

Makes me wonder if you only use small amounts once in a while if you couldn't
pop the leftover in a dehydrator and save it dry for future use?

Yes, I could probably do that, but then I would have to rehydrate it and that
sound as involved as making the stuff in the first place, (blender, messy wife'
kitchen etc.)

This is my first year working with paperclay. So, by any stretch of the
imagination, I am not an expert on it. But if I don't use my paperclay
within two weeks I dry it on a plaster wedging table and store it until I
need it. I cut a flat edge on it and store it on a shelf, like a book. A
little water brings it right back to life.
