About Metal Clay
Metal Clay is pure silver, gold, bronze or copper in a clay form. It is a fascinating material that can easily be shaped, textured and formed into beautiful jewelry and sculpture. Once formed in the desired shape, the metal clay is heated to sintering temperatures where the organic binders burn off and the metal particles fuse into a solid piece.
