Working in Egyptian Paste
If Egyptian Paste is defined as self-glazing clay then this blog will consist of my adventures of trying to create with it. More than likely more pictures will be posted here rather than text, because pictures tend to be self-explanatory. It is hoped by sharing ideas, techniques and problems in working Egyptian paste with you that it will aid me in understanding this media.
I should sidebar here to say that Egyptian paste is not true clay but rather pulverized glass; it's about as pliable as wet sand. To the right is a little three-legged stool I formed (from a recipe I shall divulge further down the blog). I haven't learned how to put captions on pictures yet, but that won't stop me from enclosing them just now.
Furthermore, why the antiquities of this media are labeled Faience is beyond my comprehension. Faience is a majolica pottery made in the town Faenza, Italy. I visited that town years back and noticed that Egyptian paste looks nothing like Faience. I've read that the Egyptians themselves referred to it as "tjehnet"; a Google search on tjehnet will yield a few of the artifacts but the same search on faience will overwhelm one. In researching Egyptian paste numerous archaeological references were discovered, but little in actually working the "clay". Therefore this blog is to be the first comprehensive guide in working with Egyptian paste. Only you will be working alongside me as I discover this trail.

Hi, I've just found your blog. I started experimenting with Egyptian paste a short while ago, just creating samples with different recipes. I have tried Amy Waller's recipe and one from Daniel Rhodes book on clay and glazes. I'd love to know what recipe you use. I haven't found it in the blog yet! I want to make small contemporary shabtis. So far the mould I have made proved too complicated and I had drying/cracking problems. Any comments from your experience much appreciated. Thank you.

I'm a sculptor who teaches foundation-level art history; I'm dying to try faience, and live in the NY metro area. Hooray - your blog gives me hope ...
