Hank and all,
Hank, thanks for the suggestions for reformulating porcelain but I don't have the capability to make my own clay.
So I again ask for those who may have tried paper clay in primitive firing situations or in raku to talk to me about what works. How much paper in what kind of clay.
Maybe porcelain won't work.
Does anyone have a clay that works well in raku?
I am trying to make rather large platters and the drying problems and the firing problems are getting to me!
Roxanne in OR where I had decided to dry a bunch of reclaimed clay in the sun and the rain came, poured for days! We are all very wet!

I use a Peipenberg recipe with 20% paper pulp added at Sesttle
Pottery. I order it by the ton.
My large slabs at anywhere from 24-26" x 20-23" It works the best of
anything I had mixed previously.
I went to paper to avoid the weight.
