5 Days of Silver Metal Clay

 
 
 
 
 

Would you like to try making hallmark quality silver from silver metal clay? Now’s your chance!

Join the FREE Five Days of Silver Metal Clay course now.

Metal Clay is an amazing material made up of 100% recycled silver particles, an organic plant based binder and water. This can be moulded, textured and shaped. The clay is then left to dry and fired with a jewellers torch (a creme brule torch will do!) and that’s when the magic happens. The metal particles form together, sinter, to make real hallmark quality silver. It’s a fantastic medium for making silver jewellery, really easy to continue from home with very few tools needed.

Whether you’re a beginner or have some metal clay experience and fancy trying out some new projects - you are going to enjoy this!
