Art Clay Copper 50 Gram Pack

Shape, texture, and assemble metal clay at the bench to build jewelry components, decorative elements, and small sculptures that fire down to solid metal. Art Clay Copper from Art Clay Silver is a user-friendly copper metal clay that fires cleanly with a butane torch or in an electric kiln, with no activated carbon required. In the clay state it is roughly 90% copper carried in moisture and an organic binder; after firing, pieces are 100% copper. It is sold as one sealed 50 g pack, with enough material for multiple projects.

Features

• Fires with a butane torch or an electric kiln, with no carbon media needed
• Approximately 10% shrinkage from clay to finished metal
• Suitable for painting over organic forms to create lightweight, hollow copper pieces after burnout
• Works for charms, pendants, links, bead caps, findings, textured components, and relief work
• Finishes to solid copper: pickle, brush or burnish, then polish or tumble
• Supplied as one sealed 50 g pack

Compatibility

Notes

• Use a separate set of tools and finishing media from those used for silver or other metals.
• After firing, pickle to remove oxides, then brush or burnish and polish or tumble.
• Ensure pieces are fully dry before firing for best strength and surface quality.
• Observe standard kiln and torch safety practices and ensure adequate ventilation.
