Metal clay (silver, bronze or copper) lets you create precious metal jewelry at home, without the need for a workshop or goldsmith's training: model, dry, bake, and the clay is transformed into pure metal.
How to make metal clay jewelry? Metal clay is the basic material for making metal jewelry.
In clay or powder form, you can create metal elements such as silver, copper and bronze.
At Perles & Co, you'll find the best references on the market: Art Clay Silver, Art Clay Copper and Prometheus Clay, as well as all the accessories and tools to take your projects from start to finish.
Metal clay is a material composed of fine particles of metal: silver, bronze or copper, mixed with water and a non-toxic organic binder. Once moistened, it can be worked in exactly the same way as clay: hand-modeled, cut, textured or molded. After drying and firing at high temperature (using a special kiln or blowtorch), the binder disappears and the particles fuse together to create a pure metal piece, which can be filed, polished and finished like any other piece of handcrafted jewelry.
To work with metal clay in the best possible conditions, you'll need ..:
Art Clay Silver contains 99.9% pure silver particles: the final piece is a real precious metal, more expensive but ideal for jewellery-quality pieces. Prometheus Clay is a bronze or brass clay, generally less expensive, which produces pieces with a warm, industrial finish. Prometheus is often the first choice for those wishing to learn the technique before investing in silver.
