Virginia Sin, good friend and clever designer, recently created (microwave and dishwasher safe) “paper plates”:
She shredded actual paper plates, (which were previously used to mold the plates) and then combined the paper pulp with porcelain slip to create her own unique batch of environmentally sound paperclay (which requires only one firing, as opposed to several with traditional clay). The porcelain paper plates have such a wonderful delicate feel to them and, according to Virginia, are actually as light and thin as actual paper plates.
