Vessels

vessels and bowl forms of
papier maché ( paper pulp).

quoted

"There are a number of
other techniques for fabricating paper vessels.
One approach is to wet paper--- as in strip maché,
but in this technique using whole sheets of paper ---
and pat them over a form or within a form. I find it easier to use forms or molds into which I place the paper. Since the pulps I use, and most papers, shrink when drying, you avoid problems of release when the pulp is "within."
Another method is to release a newly
formed paper sheet on a form
and a third method was to scoop,
drain, and pat paper pulp into or on a form.
Be aware that the paper adheres
and petroleum jelly, nonstick cooking oil spray, and
saran wrap have all been recommended as layers
between your paper and the form."
