Scarva FLAX Paper Clay ES400 White Earthenware From  £15.48

I find this very versatile

I can throw large pots with it, as it’s pretty forgiving on the wheel - it stays put with less wobble - or rather if you get a wobble, it still stays out! Then I find I can add sculptural relief to the surface. I’ve had some success creating the relief on a clean clay cloth and wiring it off before it’s leather dry, to be applied to a nearly leather dry, turned piece. It’s easy to reset surface and apply using a little slip or wet putty

It is of course expensive so saved for these special things

May be a bit early for me to be reviewing it as I worked with it for the first time today, but I love the feel - smooth and silky - and how thin I can get it without it seeming to lose strength. My project is going to take a few weeks so looking forward to seeing how white it comes out of the kiln. I'm hoping for a porcelain effect with out the grief!

I work in figurative forms, I find that the flexibility and robustness of Scarva's flax paper clay very fit for propose, working large or small. The only niggle i would have with it is the wetness of it when first opened. However, I find setting what you need to work with on the plaster bat for a short period solves the problem.

I ordered this clay for two students who enjoy sculptural work. They found it easy to achieve good results and were particularly pleased that they could push the boundaries a bit further with this product than they could with other more conventional clays.
Will order more soon.

A really good clay for hand building. For someone like myself with limited skills the ability to modify when leather hard and to fettle again once bisque fired is a real positive. I look forward to exploring its sculptural possibilities.

A great product. I used it this week end to start my grand children on course to become potters! It withstands the handling of a 7 year old and transport of the ware in a plastic bag in the car whilst not even leather hard.

I have used porcelain paper clay in my work for a number of years but this is the first time have I have used earthenware paperclay. I have been handbuilding onto slipcast spheres - has done the job brilliantly.

Really great paper clay.Works juat as described and is very good quality.Love the stuff!

Found this paper clay had good elasticity with great strength for very thin work.

I wish send that study to my eimel
