Challenge Submission Form

2.5 Metal Clay Paper

This form must be completed as part of the Metal Clay Paper challenge submission. The information will go to the evaluator along with your completed piece.

Challenge Details

DESCRIPTION:

Commercially manufactured metal clay paper is a unique material that doesn’t dry out, is flexible, foldable, can be embossed, woven, quilled, and cut into complex shapes. Make a pair of earrings that take advantage of these special properties. The completed work must be more innovative than just a punched shape with a hole. Durability and post firing finishing options should be taken into consideration when conceiving the original design. Paper elements may be appliquéd onto a lump clay substrate, but thin sheets of flexible lump clay cannot be substituted for commercially manufactured paper. The information request form will ask for a photo of the paper clay in its unopened packaging.
