Art Clay 650 vs Art Clay Slow Dry

The most difficult part of working with silver clay is learning exactly how soft or pliable it has to be. It keeps drying out too fast. It falls apart and you get really frustrated. Try the slow dry. It gives you alot more time to work. Also keep your silver clay wrapped in plastic in a food server container. I put a damp paper towel inside. It keeps your silver clay nice and hydrated, but you have to work pretty fast after you open it. Tomorrow I plan on showing you how I slumped 104 Coe inside a silver clay piece.

Working With PMC or Art Clay Silver and Cork Clay

Working With PMC

It has been difficult learning to work with PMC but each day brings new discoveries. I have been working with cork clay in order to make hollow pieces. The price of pure silver has gone so high that making some pieces hollow will allow you to make salable items that it would be too costly to make otherwise. The cork clay burns off at 900 degrees F leaving you with a strong silver piece. Just make sure your silver is thick enough to stand up on it's own. I recommend no less than 3 cards thick.

Here's todays creation
