Out of the bag a little sticky, easy to dry up to a good working consistency within a short time. This clay is very durable when fully dried and allows precise carving of very fine detail, which is exactly what I needed. I tried throwing it(not on a wheel, literally throwing a piece at a wall) and it only left a dent. Possibly a bit excessive, but a strength like this opens up a lot of possibilities.

This is a great product compared to other fibre clays, making my work so much easier. The clay is consistently good, always very smooth, with a nice warm white colour and good translucency. It also keeps well, doesn't go mouldy as other paper clays and the packaging makes it very easy to handle. The only slightly negative aspect is that when newly delivered the clay can be quite wet and sticky.

Paper has a tremendous green strength, can be force dried and it is easily mended when bone dry. It is also very easy to recycle. It responds very well to modelling and impression techniques, but is not good for throwing, carving or etching. The FLAX clay is better than all other paper clays I have tried and it does it not mould or rot easily.

Easy to work with and very versatile for handbuilding techniques.
Unfortunately, I am currently having some warping issues that are quite visible in my bigger slab buit pieces, and I am still trying to find out if it is an issue of the clay, or my new workspace environment that causes this.

This is a wonderful, strong yet delicate, porcelain clay. Great for hand building. If the clay is thin enough, it becomes translucent after high firing. I get great results with clear glaze.

As said before very wet when first opened, lovely and smooth, light etc not ideal for me as I make a lot of pierced work and its not perfectly suited to this I feel as it doesnt always cut cleanly, prefer porcelain for this. Do think its great for sculpture though

Lovely clay to work with as described and it smells gorgeous. A pleasure to work with. Only thing is the first piece I made - a shallow wide dish shape for an upside down ceiling light - slumped badly. Because I wanted to glaze the rim and I wasn’t glazing inside I balanced the piece on 3 kiln stilts and it slumped and now looks like a 3 cornered hat. !! Absolutely no good for it’s purpose now. Very sad as loved working with it. I bisque fired to 1000 and then a medium
Fast stoneware glaze to 1222. Small pieces also in same load with same clay seem fine. Could it have been because I raised it on stilts and maybe I should have used 4 instead 3 so the slump wasn’t so triangular? Comment welcome because I want to try again. I usually only use low fired clay and so Could I fire this clay lower to say 1040 which is my usually low firing top temp?

Very easy to use and versatile, I have thrown small items with it on the wheel. Great to recycle.

I used to think the ES600 was a nice product, but now the color is darker and the consistency is not the same as before, unfortunately.

Yes I am disappointed and will stop buying it.

This clay has always been 5 ☆ but the last two batches have been really wet making it difficult and annoying to work with. Slab rolling takes twice as long as I have to partially roll it then let it dry out a good 12 hours before I can finish rolling. Same applies for anything I use it for, I have to let it dry out first. The wetness of the clay also means that it opens up (cracking and crazing) when moving the slabs. I'm really, really hoping that this can please be rectified 🙏
