COLD PORCELAIN

Steps:

• Combine ingredients in pot. Don't use your good cookware for this because it can be hard to clean off.
• Cook on low heat stirring constantly for 10 minutes or until dough forms and begins to come away from the sides.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool until you can handle it.
• Knead to a smooth clay consistency.
• Store wrapped in plastic and refrigerated.
• Color is translucent cream but can be tinted with acrylic or oil paint.
• White paint gives a true porcelain look. If you are using this clay with children make sure the paints are also non-toxic, some paint pigments contain toxic chemicals so check the label.
• Model as you would any other clay, metal and smooth plastic work best for me as does keeping my fingers lubricated with a little mineral oil. The clay has a tendency to stick to wooden tools.
• Keep any clay you are not using either wrapped in plastic or covered by a damp cloth to keep it from drying out while waiting to be used. If the clay it too sticky dust with a little more cornstarch and if it is a bit crumbly add a few more drops of mineral oil.
• Dries in 24 hours. Expect 20%-30% shrinkage.
