Absolutely loaded with valuable, well-organized information. *by E***N on June 1, 2018* I initially avoided this book based on poor reviews and bought Gault's older paper clay volumes instead, which was a huge mistake. This book contains everything in the older Studio Companion series and much, much, more. And unlike Gault's previous books, this one is organized in a linear and cohesive format. It has been written for clarity and easy comprehension with good grammar and proofreading. It's also beautifully and thoughtfully illustrated. The handy index in the back let's you jump directly to detailed information on any particular topic when you're using it for a studio reference.There is no art-speak in this book. And despite the inclusion of some beautiful photos, this book is NOT just "eye candy" for inspiration - it is utterly practical. The references to "linear" and "non-linear" are direct references to the practical work-flows needed when using traditional clay bodies as opposed to paper-clays. LINEAR refers to the required progression from wet to leather hard to bone dry to fired when using traditional clays. Works must be dried slowly and evenly, parts must be assembled while all are at the leather hard stage, and once the work is bone dry there's no going back to correct or change anything. NON-LINEAR refers to the freedom paper clay bodies give to move back and forth between the wet, leather hard and dry stages. Paper fiber in the clay allows you to let work dry quickly or unevenly, to attach new wet pieces to others that are already bone dry, and to re-wet bone dry pieces as often as you like in order to modify or repair them until you're ready to fire the work to permanence.Those who complained that this book is low on information may have been looking for a step-by-step project book. True, this book is not paper-clay-for dummies, where you receive instructions on how to successfully create a specific masterpiece without knowing anything about the material you're working with. It does include recipes and instructions to make your own paper clay bodies, but it also includes the logic behind the recipes so you can modify the given ones for your own needs, or even make up your own recipe to cope with the requirements of a specific project. As to HOW to use the material, there are no specific projects included. Instead Paper Clay Art and Practice is absolutely loaded with the logic and science of why and how you can use a Paper Clay body to succeed in hundreds of situations where a traditional non-paper clay body would fail. Each method that's unique to paper clay is explained in text, and illustrated with in-process photos and examples finished works where that method was used. The WHY comes in if you experience failures in your work - then you will be able to diagnose the trouble and make corrections on your own.In short, Paper Clay Art and Practice won't teach you how to make somebody else's work in 10 steps. Instead it will empower you to make your own ceramic works that were never before possible. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome resource for anyone interested in paperclay *by P***Y on August 6, 2024* Awesome resource if you want to learn about paperclay, there's so much information here and it's very clearly presentedNOTE, THIS IS NOT ABOUT AIR DRY PAPERCLAY that you buy in the craft store.This is about ceramic clay with paper fibers included, that has to be fired in a kiln. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the money! *kiln fired p’clay only *by C***W on March 6, 2021* Clarification note:This is for kiln fired paper clay. Although this p’clay can be left to dry and not fired, most of the book has to do with fired p’clay. If you are working with the air dry type you get at craft stores, this is not the right book for you.Review:This book is amazing! There is so much information in it! I learned everything I need to know about fired paper clay. You don’t need to read it in order, but reading it all really does make a difference. I often found myself reading for hours at a time, taking notes, as it was well paced and easy to understand. Well worth the money!The only thing that wasn’t clear until I read the whole thing and pieced it together, as the info is split between sections: when measuring to make the paper clay, measure clay slip and wet but squeezed out processed pulp, both by volume (not weight), to find your ratios when making paper clay.Otherwise, excellent! ## Frequently Bought Together - Paperclay: Art and Practice (The New Ceramics) - Complete Guide to Paper Clay: Mixing recipes; Building, finishing and firing; 10 practice projects - Creative Paperclay for Modeling Compound, 16-Ounce, White, 4" x 1" x 8" (Length x Width x Height) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1385096-paperclay-art-and-practice-the-new-ceramics](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1385096-paperclay-art-and-practice-the-new-ceramics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
