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

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