Silver Clay - 50gm - New Formula

Excellent product and price.

This stuff is crazy! It really works. Finicky to use and get the hang of, but can yield some very cool results. Had no problems purchasing this product here instead of the art clay website

I am an independent jewelry designer/maker who does commission work for private clients, most of whom are looking for something original and one-of-a-kind unique. Although I also work with sheet metals in gold and fine silver, ArtClay Silver allows me to really stretch the limits of my designs while still being able to provide a piece of jewelry made of an exceptionally pure quality silver (.999Fine). It also allows me to treat the earth kindly as ArtClay is made of 100% purely recycled silver (the other guy, PMC, can't claim that high a percentage of recycle in their product, unless they have changed their philosophy over the last few years). Since 2002, I have used both types of precious metal clays from the two largest companies and I can say that ArtClay, for me, is the better product and it has a much better pricetag! In my experience, PMC made by Mitsubishi Co. dries out faster, doesn't torch fire as well (both do approx. the same in a kiln) as ArtClay and is too high priced when set next to ArtClay. I've also had PMC, unlike the ArtClay, occasionally shrink a good deal more than advertised which can ruin a design at critical points. I've also had several packages of PMC ruined when the binder turned black after opening and could not be burned out.. it also could not be eaten off with acid nor would any other method remove the black patches throughout the silver after firing. I had to toss it out because I didn't know what it was.. some kind of bacteria carried in the binder? Or a chemical that reacted to the air/heat/cool.. the possibilities were endless and not one technical expert could figure the problem out, so: Tossed! This vendor was a quick ship, priced well below 50gr of PMC and I am about to reorder so..

Perfect!

Love this easy to mold into the designs I want. Has a few minutes of play time and I keep it damp until I'm ready to use it. Dry it thoroughly and heat it up. I really love the detail I can get with this product.

Nice. Daughter likes it. Very expensive.

Very little shrinkage. Quite user friendly with some knowledge

I love working with this silver clay - it's so easy to fire and this price is better than I could find anywhere else.
