What is Art Clay®
Art Clay® is an innovative new product awaiting your creative flash of inspiration. For all you artists wishing to combine the ease of molding clay with the love of silver's shine, this is the product for you. Enjoy the fun and versatility of playing with art clay with a twist ... firing the finished piece transforms it into a valuable, pure silver treasure. This soft and supple clay has been mixed with a fine silver powder; think of it as precious metal clay. Create the shape you desire; dry, fire and clean it; and you'll be left with a shimmering work of art in pure silver. Modeling has never been this fun!
How to Use Art Clay®
Art Clay® uses a water-based clay material and suspends silver particles within, creating "metal clay." Once you create and fire your work of art, the unwanted residue burns off, leaving only the fine silver along with a non-toxic powder. Brush off the powder and you're left with a shimmering silver treasure. The silver particles themselves come from reprocessing of old film. Just imagine: your artwork is helping keep the earth "green" through the recycling efforts of the folks at Art Clay. Talk about a win-win situation.
