Just had my first experience with the majic dust commonly refered to =
as paper clay. Man-o-man was it ever goooood. Too good infact. Could not =
believe what I was able to do with the stuff. Broke about every rule I =
could think of and then applied some wet clay into the crack of a coil =
wrapped around the outside of an 18 inch rectalinear extrusion, let it =
dry for all of about five minutes, and then stuck the whole thing in the =
kiln for a bisque. Came out without a scratch. Could not believe it. =
Students need to be kept away from the stuff or they may never learn =
about the proper care and feeding of clay.
