Lafingspirit lowfire earthenware with fiber, our version of that Papered Clay!

Our fiber doesn't rot, and will fit most commercial glazes.

A lowfire sculptural body that fits commercial glazes at 04-06. It contains 5% fine white sand and our superfine nylon fiber.
Lorri says about the clay:
I really do like the fiber clay better than the paperclay for a few reasons:

*Attaches better wet to dry
*does not rot
*has great green strength
*doesn't crack much at all when sculpted around steel armature-this could
revolutionize the way sculptors can work with ceramic clay.

I looked up the fumes and according to the reference I found, there is more
hydrogen cyanide released when paper is burned than when nylon is burned.

Still it stinks and must be vented when fired, but it works, for most
peoples purposes, to leave unfired as well. Especially when they use the
cold finishing techniques I use.

Introducing a new Clay from New Mexico Clay!
