ArtClay Silver 50 gram Package

Silver metal clay lets you sculpt, texture and carve a piece at the bench, then fire it into solid fine silver without soldering or casting. Art Clay Silver 50 gram Package uses the New Formula, which combines the best characteristics of the Original, 650 Low Fire and Slow Dry clays. It offers longer open time, easier shaping, clean carving and a bright fine silver finish, consistent with the 10 g and 20 g packages. It is sold by the package, and the larger 50 g quantity is well suited to bigger projects or ongoing studio use.

Features

• Updated formulation combining strengths of the Original, 650 Low Fire and Slow Dry clays
• Improved workability and extended open working time
• Similar heated drying time to prior formulas
• Only 8–9% shrinkage after firing
• Easier carving and filing at the dry (green) stage
• Reconstitutes quickly from dried clay; formulated to absorb moisture well

• Smoother post-firing surface and fewer drying cracks than earlier formulas

Notes

• Keep unused clay sealed to retain moisture; rehydrate dried clay with a few drops of water and knead until uniform.
• Ensure pieces are fully dry before firing for best strength and surface finish.
