Durable Paper Sculpture

Since 1995 Graham Hay has been creating unique paper sculptures, some up to 3 tonne, others up to 2.5m high.

Over time he developed unique techniques that converted paper into an "artificial hardwood", without the use of water or glues.

This website was first created in July 2000 (latest update 26 March 2021) to freely share information on how to make and use paper clay.  This was well before textbooks, Youtube, with only a few International journal articles.  The website grew to documentation art projects and events.   It is a symbolic “thank you” to the many thousands who participated in events I led, who shared so generously their own discoveries and techniques.  This ultimately benefited my future students and is a gift to the next generation of potters, artists and students.  I hope it informs you, inspires you, informs you and provides a possible map for your creative journey. Enjoy your travels!  Cheers! Graham
