Art Clay Silver Overlay 15g
Art Clay Silver is a precious metal clay which looks and feels like ordinary sculpting or porcelain
clay with fine particles of pure silver mixed with a non-toxic organic binder.
When fired the binder
burns out leaving a fine silver piece, which can be hallmarked as fine silver.
Art Clay is known as Art Clay Silver 650, simply because it can be fired at 650°C. At this low temperature it can be fired with sterling silver, dichroic glass and natural stones. This 650 version of Art Clay is slightly brighter than other clays. It shrinks by around 8 to 9%. Object must be dry before firing. Firing temperature and time will depend on the firing method and size of the object.
For use on glazed porcelain and glass. Water soluble. Fire in a kiln only at 1472F/800C. Wonderful to paint on fused glass.
