Cold Porcelain and Paperclay
The New Generation of Air Dry Clays
I have not personally had any experience in Cold Porcelain (Porcelana Fria) or other air drying clays like Paperclay. I tried products like Das years ago and didn't get on with the very well. It seemed to me like a course material suitable only for kids.
Now, I understand from visitors things have moved on. There is a new generation of Paperclays and a Cold (air dry) Porcelain product developed in Argentina, South America (porcelana fria).
Go to visitor articles.
I am told a new air-drying paste is available (known as "CelPaste"), which is made from a mixture of glues, preservatives and cornflour. However, my friends at the Yahoo air drying clay group swear by different recipes you can make yourself (see below or join their group here
Yahoo Air Dry Clay Group
).I am opening up the discussion to everyone who has tried cold (air dry) porcelain and air drying clays of all types.

Important note:My own research has turned up another type of commonly used sculpting material known as 'paper clay' (not to be confused with 'Creative Paperclay®'). Paper clay is a firing clay mixed with cellulose for strenthening. This a clay has to be fired and is used by artists, sculptors and potters for hand-building techniques and NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH AIR DRYING CLAYS.
