Precious Metal Clay (Metal Clay) represents a dramatic development in the handling of precious metals. Metal Clay consists of microscopic particles of silver suspended in an organic binder to create a pliable material with a consistency similar to modelling clay. Metal Clay can be worked with the fingers and simple inexpensive tools to create a vast range of forms and surfaces that would be unattainable or laborious with traditional techniques.
When heated to a high temperature, the binder burns away and the metal particles fuse to form solid metal that can be sanded, soldered, coloured and polished like conventional material.
Metal Clay once finished is 99.9% pure silver & can be hallmarked as such, it's a purer form of silver than the common Sterling Silver often found on the high street.
In this workshop you will make simple projects such as Earrings & Pendants, a minimum of one item but depending on size of your pieces you can make up to three items, one to keep & two to gift!
