Paper clay notes
In addition to making my sculptures lighter, I now have more freedom in my creation process. No longer do I have to worry about the condition of the clay at what ever stage. I like the fact that wet paperclay can be joined to bone dry pieces, even dry to dry joints are not an issue. If a dry piece should break off, it’s a simple matter of sticking it back on with some paperclay slip. Even cracked, bisqued pieces can be repaired and re-fired.

The resulting bisqued piece behaves just like any other clay body so there is no difference in the glazing process.

I’ve used paperclay in high fire, low fire, raku, pit fire and the Kazegama firing without any problems."" http://www.anthonyfoo.com/Paperclay.htm
