Material List
What is a Precious Metal Clay Polymer
A precious metal clay polymer combines pure silver powder with non-toxic binders and water. It can be molded like clay and when kiln, torch or stove top fired, the binders burn away and the metal sinters - the clay is transformed into a solid piece of hand crafted silver jewellery.
You can also extend traditional jewellery making techniques by incorporating metal clay.
