Paper clay sheets which have been dried on the plaster bats serve as great canvases. I had to be careful with the amount of wet glazes and underglazes used on the greenware. as it did start decomposing when it got too wet.
For my first trial I went for something really simple with a water color look, but it will be interesting to try more complex painting or the lazertan (www.lazertran.com) transfer paper to print my digital art onto these sheets, either before or after firing. The rough edges give a recycled paper look ( well, it basically is - its made from old newspapers and will have a rougher look once the paper has burned out) a kind of trompe l'oeil - because it will be a light weight ceramic tile.
