Allow us to introduce you to the newest addition to the Metal Clay family - BronzClay. This new and exciting material is similar to Precious Metal Clays in many ways except you end up with Bronze! Instead of pure silver within a non-toxic binder BronzClay consists of 11% tin and 89% copper. It comes in generous 100g and 200g packages and is liberating for any artist as it allows true freedom and experimentation. It can be rolled, stamped, carved, sculpted - it can even be thrown onto a potters wheel!
BronzClay needs to be dried thoroughly just like Art Clay Silver but it differs in its firing. It is not possible to fire Bronzclay with a torch, it must be fired in a kiln.
Our Metal Clay Instructors have been working with BronzClay clay since its launch, experimenting with it and finding ways to combine it with precious metal clay. But you don't need to be Qualified to have success with this product. In October we ran one of the United Kingdoms very first BronzClay workshops with the wonderful Sherri Haab. You can see the wonderful pieces produced from the course below - all of them belong to participating students!
