Art Clay Silver™

We are pleased to announce that we are the Canadian distributor for this exciting product! Securing the Canadian distributorship allows us to offer you Art Clay Silver at better prices!

Pure Silver in Clay Form! Art Clay Silver is a pure metal powder mixed with a non-toxic binder. When fired, the binder burns away, leaving a pure 99.9% silver product. It can be rolled, sculpted, stamped, sanded, filed, engraved, drilled and pre-polished, all prior to firing.

The versatility of this innovative silver clay is limited only by your imagination.

Frequently asked questions and answers - click here for a comprehensive list of questions and answers about this fabulous stuff! (including "do I need a kiln?" "what kind of torch can I use?")

Many projects for ACS and/or Precious Metal Clay™ are being printed in current craft magazines, from "Glass Craftsman" to "Bead and Button" to "Doll Crafter." Instructions for PMC can be used for ACS. Check the box insert to double check the firing times and temperatures. ACS shrinks slightly less than PMC, about 8-10%.

Packaging changes, your package may vary from those shown.

Art Clay Silver - Photopolymer Sheet Stamp Kit - (1)
The photopolymer kit includes everything you need to create your own photopolymer plates. These plates are great for use with Art Clay, polymer clay, and/or other materials. This kit does not include metal clay! It includes a single photopolymer sheet (4.125" X 5.75") - which is a UV-sensitive plastic that can be exposed much like a photograph to create textured plate for creating your own designs. It also includes a UV lamp (9 volt) - bulb included, a 3x3 clear glass square, a 3 x 3 wooden base square, 2 binder clips (wooee!), and a design/demo CD and an "instructional handout." You will also need warm water (can't ship that!), toothbrush (steal your significant other's) and printable transparency film (steal this from the office supply cabinet). In a nutshell, mask the plastic sheet with your design on a transparency, expose to strong UV light - sunlight or artificial - and then rinse and brush in water. Bingo! Explicit instructions here. Sample 1, 2. Smells funny - if you have a sensitivity to that. Comes in a honking big box.

Art Clay Silver Supplies - Liver of Sulfur - (4 oz)
New - smaller size for your convenience. Liver of Sulfur is the traditional way to get a rich patina on silver. On sterling silver, it adds a black patina that can then be polished off the high areas, creating contrast and an antiqued look. On fine silver (such as the Metal Clay) - it produces a rainbow of colours from bronzes and golds to peacock blues and purples and purples.
It does stink like rotting eggs. Dissolve a pea-sized chunk in hot (never boiling) water and immerse the item to be patina-ed (hanging from a thread or wire allows you to get it in and out without making your fingers all smelly.) Watch the item and pull out when it looks good - you can always re-dunk and add more. Takes about 10 seconds. If you don't like the effect - refiring will remove it. (A hand torch works fine.)
Follow instructions and safety precautions. We canNOT ship this via air - it will ship separately via ground. 4 ounces will last you a goodly while. Store unused Liver of Sulfur in a cool dry place, and it needs to be dark. Made up solution can be stored in the fridge if you are ok with anything that smelly in your fridge and you are absolutely 100% certain that no one in the house will accidentally drink it. Otherwise, discard after use. We have noticed that the safety precautions include keeping it away from uniformed adults - we're pretty sure it means "un-informed," however. ;-) By the pack of 4 oz.

Art Clay Silver Supplies - Speedfire Cone System - Kiln-less firing for Art Clay Silver (1)
Now THIS is a nifty little gadget. The Speedfire Cone System - Comes complete with heatproof cone, a specially designed propane burner, pyrometer and propane bottle base. The fuel tank is NOT included - for shipping reasons, but you can pick one up at hardware stores, home building outlets, some corner stores if you live in a rural area! Just about anywhere. Essentially a camping stove on steroids, what makes this different is that there is a pyrometer (a thermometer for high temperatures) so that you can maintain a precise temperature. If direct firing with a torch is not giving you the results you want, or just scares the snot out of you, and a kiln is out of the question - then this could be the very answer. Portable, so you could take it camping. What fun that would be - the kids could make beads with the impressions of the stuff they find around them, you could have fun together, and a great souvenir of your trip. See Jenn's new project for an easy to make silver bead project. Sold as a kit. See Jenn's new project for an easy to make silver bead project. Sold as a kit. More details here.
