Hello,
I'm trying to find out if tiles made with paperclay are more resistant than the ones made with regular clay, including for outside... also I'm interested in making rainchains: which material would be the best for such a stressful 'job' (paper clay?)
Thank you!

Paper clay will absorb water - would they freeze?

I work quite a bit with paperclay, but it has it's limitations. I would nev=
er use it for ware that would be exposed to temperature (weather or cooking=
/refrigeration) because it is a more porus finished piece than traditional =
claybodies. I use it for decorative tiles since you do not have warping dur=
ing drying as you do with traditional clay bodies and I create decorative v=
essels - again, would not be exposed to extreme temperatures, just eye cand=
y work.
