Prometheus Jeweller's Light Yellow Bronze clay makes it easy to create all types of pieces or sculptures.
The advantage of this "jeweller's" clay is that you'll get a light gold effect on your creations.
The clay can be spread, rolled, sculpted, incised, carved...
During firing, the binder burns off, leaving behind a solid piece of pure Light Yellow bronze. You can create jewelry, jewelry components or customized tools.
