I made a mash up word: Ceramacramé. I like it!
So far it is beyond my abilities. I had all kinds of plans to make macramé knots in shadow boxes, or to create 3D ceramacramé sculptures. 
I forced paper clay through the extruder and made coils. The trouble with coils is getting them long enough without having them break or distort. Except that the clay was softer, using paper clay in the extruder didn’t seem to be any different from using normal clay.
I was considering making a die with smaller holes. I have some of the material that the die is made from, but I struggled with the macramé process as the following pictures show. So I decided to save that project for later.
I will still explore it later on. (Just because some people can do something with little or no training, it doesn’t mean that others can’t do it (and sometimes do it even better) with training. – Carol Dweck)
For now I built, instead, on the frame idea.
My first attempt:
For my second try, I allowed the frame much more time to stiffen up. I also supported it while it dried.
