Precious Metal Clay and Art Clay SIlver  - The Alchemist's Dream - Clay into Silver and Gold
Silver and Gold Clay (PMC  and Art Clay Silver) are materials for the new millennium. 
A new material using reclaimed silver from photo processing mixed with organic nontoxic binders and water, the result 
is a soft material that can be fabricated and fired just like clay. During the firing process, using either a small kitchen torch 
or kiln, the binder and water burn off and the metal particles fuse together to become pure silver or gold. Stones can be set 
in place and fired or set in traditional bezels after firing. Textures are limited only to the artist's imagination. Finished Silver or 
Gold can be enameled using traditional methods. Anyone can make beautiful silver and gold jewelry in the comfort of their 
own home.  Silver and Gold Clays can also be used to accent pottery, polymer clay and fine porcelain.
I teach in my studio and  at the Brookline (MA) Adult Education program (http://www.brooklineadulted.org/). 
In addition  private instruction, party classes and workshops can be given at your home, studio, school, bead and ceramic
stores or art association - almost any room that has a well ventilated space sufficient to accommodate reasonable working space 
for the students -  classes are available in metal clay, polymer clay and fused glass.
Polymer Clay, either by itself, or in combination with glass beads or metal clay, is truly a chameleon medium. It can be used to replicate stone 
or glass beads. It can be molded, sculpted, painted, tinted or carved prior too or after baking. Check out our mixed media Jewelry and home 
Accessories. 
And coming soon, order bead sets to complete  your own jewelry using our fine silver or polymer beads and dichroic glass pendants.
