ART CLAY SILVER
Using Art Clay Silver you can make beautiful and individual pieces of solid silver jewellery.
Art Clay Silver is a water-based clay made of pure silver powder, water and non-toxic organic binder (bonding agent). Once Art Clay Silver has dried, it becomes hard like plaster, enabling you to carve it, engrave it, file it and sand it to a perfect finish before firing. Art Clay Silver may be changed back to clay with the addition of water. Leftover pieces and powder resulting from filing may be recycled as paste, leaving no waste. After firing, Art Clay Silver becomes 99.9% pure silver which can be hallmarked. Use stamps and cutters to make unique items.
