I was asked by @frisbs in my last post regarding my experience with Creative Paperclay on my customized vinyl sculpture. I’m virtually brand new to the material and am rusty at sculpting, but I found it pretty forgiving once I learned not to be so heavy-handed at it (pressing too hard, adding too much water, etc.) I found it generally tricky to re-integrate chunks of clay with one another once they were removed from the block, but a bowl of clean water and keeping hands moist and moistening (but not over-wetting) the clay while I worked it back into a more forgiving consistency helped a lot. I did lightly roll some of my clay pieces and cut/shaped with xacto knives  to get a more precise look, otherwise I used my plain ol’ fingers, and wooden/silicone pottery tools! ALSO the best part of this stuff if how fun it is to shape via sanding/carving after it’s properly dried. Luckily it’s non-toxic, but you may fare better if you wear at least some sort of mask to keep those fine paper particles out of your airways! 

I found a blog post that details beginning techniques and properties way better than I can explain, I think I’ll be browsing this and youtube so I can be better prepared for my own next paperclay adventure. Because, despite the frustration and the learning curve, it is pretty fun once I’m warmed up!

1916 Sackville Street Art Project

I recently submitted a piece of art for a very exciting exhibition to mark the centenary year of the 1916 Easter Rising.
