Precious Metal
Clay, PMC, PMC+,PMC3
Art Clay Silver, and Now BRONZclay & COPPRclay!
Silver Clay is a
combination of water, binders, and small particles of either silver or gold. It
is molded into a desired shape then heated in a kiln to remove the binder and
fuse the metal powder into a solid form. The result retains all the marks of the
maker, transformed into a precious and durable object.

Precious Metal Clay and
Art Clay are clay-like materials that shape easily, then amazingly fire into a
pure metal object! PMC+, PMC3 and all Art Clay Silver can be formed and
worked just as you would clay, shrinkage (8-12%). All are perfect for
creating sized designs, such as rings and earrings. They fire at a low
temperature in a short time!
