I create my lampshades and candle holders mainly from porcelain paper clay.
Porcelain paper clay is a unique material that allows for the creation of delicate yet durable items like lampshades and candle holders. The inclusion of paper or linen fibers in the clay mix not only contributes to the lightweight nature of the finished product but also ensures a beautiful translucency when lit from within. As the fibers burn away during the firing process, they leave behind a fine, warm glow that can enhance the ambiance of any setting.
