PAPER clay







Lately... i have been thinking about utilizing paper clay for my sculptures. the media has been mentioned to me qutie a bit for the past year or two...

so i started to look into what others have done

Angela Mellor is one of my favorites. Even though she uses paper clay for her utilitarian work, she inspires me with her delicate, whispy expressions upon each piece. She bases her work off of the environment: water, earth, light, etc. The textures on her pieces have been from her exploration in nature.

All of her work is slipcast with bone china to create a thin translucent form to harmonize and emphazise the surface.
