Caring for Your Paper Clay Products

Caring for Your Paper Clay Products

Each piece from Paper & Palette Studio is handmade with care using eco-conscious materials, including paper clay. To ensure your item remains beautiful for years to come, please follow these simple care instructions:

Handling

  • Paper clay is delicate. Handle your item gently, especially if it features intricate or raised details.
  • Avoid bending or placing heavy objects on top of your product.

Cleaning

  • Dust lightly with a dry, soft cloth or brush.
  • Do not soak or submerge in water, as paper clay is water-sensitive.
  • Avoid using commercial cleaners or sprays.

Environment

  • Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping.
  • Store or display in a dry area — high humidity may affect the texture or shape over time.
  • For items like bowls or trays, use only for decorative purposes, not for food or liquids.

Sealing

  • Some pieces are sealed with natural, eco-friendly waxes for added durability. Reapply a natural wax occasionally (like beeswax or carnauba wax) if needed to maintain a soft sheen.

Longevity

  • Treat your paper clay item as you would a handmade ceramic — with care, love, and an appreciation for its handcrafted nature.
