This is the perfect metal clay to make Fingerprint Jewellery and Artwork/Handprint Jewellery.
Art clay looks and feels much like ordinary sculpting or porcelain clay. What makes it so fantastic is that it consists of extremely fine particles or pure metal (silver or gold), almost like dust, mixed up with a non-toxic organic binder. The binder burns out during firing, leaving you with a pure metal piece. Art clay silver can be fired with glass, some stones and sterling silver. You can fire it with a torch, on a gas stove, or in a kiln.
The clay can be hallmarked as fine silver at any UK Assay Office.
