  "term": "Paper clay",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A ceramic material created by blending processed cellulose fibers, such as paper pulp, into a clay body.

This material is often used for sculptural work and intricate forms due to its improved workability and reduced cracking.",
