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 Supplies - Liver of Sulfur - (8 oz)
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. 8 ounces will last you years - you might want to split it with a friend. 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. (8 oz)

Three pound capacity tumbler. The inside of the barrel has flattened sides to give a more positive tumbling action. 1.5 quart size barrel (1.4 litres). Instructions for Polishing Fired Art Clay Silver - (from Art Clay World website). Use only 2 pounds of stainless steel shot, with water inside the tumbler. Fill the tumbler 3-quarters of the way with water. You may place as many pieces in the tumbler as you want as long as they are all able to move freely inside the chamber. The following can be used inside the tumbler to assist in cleaning and polishing pieces: 1 drop of liquid dish soap, 1 tablespoon of jewelry cleaner, or 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Use only 1 of these at a time. Note: Tumbling pieces with patina will remove the patina and will dirty the stainless steel shot. Clean your shot by running the tumbler with only the shot, water, and 2 tablespoons of baking soda for an hour. Pearls, soft stones, and other soft materials are not recommended for use in the tumbler, as they may be damaged. If your area has hard water - you may get better results with distilled water - available at grocery stores and pharmacies.
