Silver Jewelry Using Metal Clay
Silver metal clay is an exciting material consisting
of silver particles in a nontoxic binder and water. It
looks, feels and acts like clay. When heated, the binder
and water burn away to leave 99-percent pure silver.
Students will practice firing with a small butane torch,
an easy process that takes just minutes. Experienced
artists will find this material fascinating, but no previous
experience is needed. Leave class with finished jewelry.
You’ll learn the basics in one day, and be able to begin
on your own. Iliana Carrillo is a senior Art Clay instructor
