MDM,
glazing paper clay? this is new to me. I have worked with paperclay, made my own a couple years back, and have the premade powder to mix with water called Celluclay but was completely unaware it had a fireable ceramics application. I would have assumed even at decal firing temps the paper clay would burn to nothing. So i am really intrigued, and a paper clay slip, really want to try that for non fire applications, very cool. looking forward to hearing more about your trials with it and to searching out the reference material about its applications.
edit: i just reread the top of the thread, i get it now, the paper clay acts as a filler, so it does burn out, leaving a lighter weight bisque, similar to using cotton and doilies in slip and firing them out to leave the shape, cool, will have to try it out
