Paper Clay
Paper Clay and Papier Mache are sometimes confused. Paper Clay was originally made from clay slip (clay mixed with water) to which paper fibres are added and then kiln dried. Papier Mache is paper and glue.
There are now several 'purpose made' Paper Clay products on the market as well as many different recipes to make it from scratch many of which use a variety of ingredients. This page features one of the simplest recipes we can find made from recycled paper combined with flour and water. This can be moulded into a variety of objects and, after air drying can be painted as required.
As with all modelling products, paper clay is fun and easy to do especially for children!
