Have you ever seen ceramic sculptures so delicate they seem to defy gravity? Pieces with walls so thin they're translucent, and forms so intricate and complicated they appear too fragile to even touch?
You're looking at the power of paper porcelain, and those "impossible" results, even the most complex forms, are achievable with the right guidance.
Those breathtaking, impossibly delicate pieces aren't the result of decades of trial and error. The artists don’t have supernatural talent or luck.
They're made using paper porcelain. It’s a technique that makes delicate and complex work even easier than traditional ceramics.
You've probably been told that paper porcelain ceramic work requires:
Years of experience before you can attempt anything intricate
Perfect timing, perfect conditions, and a lot of luck
Natural talent that some people have and others don't
Expensive equipment and professional studio space
What if I told you that's completely backwards?
Paper porcelain doesn't just empower you to create seemingly impossible pieces, it's actually the easier, more forgiving path to get there.
I was mesmerized by ceramic pieces that seemed to defy the laws of physics, and convinced they were beyond my reach.
Then I discovered paper porcelain, and everything I thought I knew about ceramic limitations changed.
What started as curiosity became a revelation: those "impossible" sculptures weren't impossible at all. The creators were just using different rules, rules that actually make delicate work more achievable, not less.
When you understand how paper porcelain really works, those "impossible" results become inevitable outcomes of proper technique.
Today, I'm internationally recognized for creating pieces that make viewers question how they were even made. But the techniques I use aren't secrets reserved for master artists — they're systematic methods that I share in my masterclasses -- and I hold nothing back.
Let's create something that makes people say 'how did you DO that?'

experience
"I can now produce high-quality liquid paper porcelain consistently."
"The recipe you provide in the course has been incredibly helpful, especially compared to other resources that base their instructions on volume instead of clear, precise measurements.
Every step is clearly explained in each video. The PDFs are really useful too, I keep them handy for quick reference. The course community is both supportive and inspiring. Being able to ask questions and get direct answers from you as the teacher, plus input from other students, makes such a difference."
- Georgia Polyzoi, Greece
"This is, without a doubt, one of the best and most thoughtfully made online courses I’ve taken."
I’m currently halfway through this course, and my love for paper porcelain keeps growing every day. Its versatility is truly mind-blowing. This is, without a doubt, one of the best and most thoughtfully made online courses I’ve taken.
I can’t wait to fill my first kiln with new designs. Wishing all my fellow students the best of luck!
- Michel Van Meelen, Spain
"After taking your classes, I had a much clearer idea of how to approach the material."
I'm working with stoneware and porcelain too, exploring ways to integrate paper porcelain into my art installations. We'll see where it leads.
Of course, nothing compares to an in-person class, but when that's not possible, this is definitely worth considering. Having the videos available to go back to whenever I need them is really helpful. And the community where everyone shares their experiences is incredibly valuable."
- Gianna Scarpello, Argentina
"The classes completely demystify paper clay"
"I got a much better understanding of how to build with paper clay. I originally started with the online book, which was helpful for the formulas to make paper clay and slip. But it didn't really explain the actual building process. I would definitely recommend these classes because they completely demystify paper clay. I've been working in ceramics for over 20 years and had never tried paper clay because I just didn't understand what it could do. I'm so glad I took the class and can't wait to keep experimenting with paper clay.
I'd never taken a class in this format before, and it's really exciting to connect with people from around the world who are all creating art together."
- John Zemetra, USA
"Before your course, paper porcelain was just a dream for me."
Now I actually make paper porcelain sculptures and keep improving my work with each piece. Your videos and PDFs are so clear and well-structured.
I really enjoy your lessons, the easy way you explain everything, and how you break down each step so logically."
- Harmke P., The Netherlands
“Well put together, easy to understand, gives flexibility to create your own materials"
"I have a much better knowledge and understanding of how I can create my own paper clay now.
I'd definitely recommend it. The course is well put together, easy to understand, and gives you the flexibility to create your own materials using different porcelains.
I really appreciate the opportunity to engage with you personally. I'm still slowly working my way through the course, so I haven't finished it yet, but it's been great so far."
- Julie Hutt, UK
"Thanks to the masterclass I got concrete tools to start working with paper porcelain, and it worked"
Yes, I'd recommend it, especially for people who are just starting with paper porcelain."
- Annemarie K., The Netherlands

Who are these masterclasses for and do I need previous experience with clay or porcelain?
These masterclasses are perfect for ceramic artists, designers, and anyone passionate about exploring paper porcelain. A basic understanding of working with clay is recommended, but no prior experience with porcelain or paper porcelain is necessary. If you’ve worked with clay before, you’ll find it easy to follow the techniques taught in this course.
What materials and tools do I need?
A detailed materials list is provided with each lesson to ensure you’re fully prepared. Key items include "casting porcelain" (porcelain for slipcasting in plaster mold) & "plastic porcelain" (porcelain for throwing and hand building), egg cartons, a large (+/-A3) plaster slab, plaster bowl-shaped mold and some basic ceramic tools.
Can I access the lessons anytime?
Yes, you’ll have lifetime access after enrollment, allowing you to revisit the content as needed.
Is it possible to pay in instalments?
Yes, absolutely. You can pay in instalments for both options.
For the full bundle of both masterclasses, choose 3 monthly instalments. For a single module, choose 2 instalments.
What if I have questions while taking the class?
2 monthly Q&A sessions via Zoom are organized, allowing you to ask questions and, if needed, see additional demonstrations. You’ll also have access to a vibrant community of fellow participants where you can ask questions, share ideas, and receive guidance. I’ll be actively answering questions in the community as well.
Are the classes in English?
Yes, the classes are taught in English, and subtitles in English are available for all videos.
What is the difference between "liquid and plastic paper porcelain
Liquid Paper Porcelain: A slip version ideal for pouring, casting, or layering, offering endless creative possibilities.
Plastic Paper Porcelain: A malleable form for hand-building, throwing, or slab work, allowing for versatile use in traditional and experimental techniques.
Do I need a kiln to complete the projects?
Yes, firing your creations is essential to achieve the final results. If you don’t have a kiln, consider partnering with local ceramic studios or community centers.
Access begins immediately.
Your first impossible technique is just minutes away.
