So here it is ....the cold porcelain I have found to be the best
This will make about 300gms of cold porcelain (which goes a very long way)
you will need
1 cup of cornflour
1 cup of PVA glue non toxic
1-2 tablespoon of baby oil
and an old non-stick saucepan
measure out the PVA and the oil into the saucepan and mix in the cornflour mix really well
bring your mix to the stove and heat on a low heat KEEP MIXING the mixture will go through a lumpy stage but keep going when the mixture has all come together in a leather like ball remove from the pot and knead like your making bread (careful it may be hot in the center) until it no longer sticks to your hands i have found if you dust your hands with cornflour its a little less messy but be careful not to add to much or you porcelain will be too brittle
wrap in clingfilm and keep in an air tight box.
You can use the porcelain as soon as it has cooled
To color your clay you can use acrylic paint or food dye. add a small amount at a time and knead in the color will change slightly as it dry's.
happy crafting .
