Paper Mache Bowls
You may also find unique Handcast-Handmade paperclay bowls
at Precision Studio. The artist starts with shredded glossy
magazines, the surface of which are clay-coated. This provides
some body to the sculptured vessels. The Fibers are then
soaked and put into a blender to further break them down. The
paper pulp is then squeezed to release the excess liquid and
binder is then added to yield a sticky gray clay-like substance.
The clay is then sculpted over a form and baked int he oven to
further dry it out. Once it has yielded all moisture, it is carefully
removed from the form and embellished with Golden Acrylics,
mica flakes, metallic and iridescent pigments, and metal leafing.
The finished containers are then sprayed or brushed with an
Acrylic UV-protective sealer. This artist found a great way to
recycle as well as create something beautiful!
