Before I try this with students, I am curious about safety issues =
"carving sintered paperclay"....I read about this in Gault's Paper Clay =
for Ceramic Sculptors. Since the paper is burned away aren't you simply =
going to be carving clay thus creating silica dust to breathe in? [A =
lot of dust if done with a studio full of students].

Any carving on dry or fired clay is going to generate silica dust...
probably even more on fired clay because there is NO moisture left to bing
the small particles...
