Description

Create Pure Silver Jewellery with Ease

Art Clay Silver Clay is a revolutionary material that allows jewellers, goldsmiths, and artists to create solid fine silver pieces (99.9%) with remarkable ease. Soft and pliable like traditional clay, it can be shaped, sculpted, and textured freely—making it ideal for both intricate designs and bold artistic expressions. Once fired, the material transforms into genuine silver, preserving every detail of your craftsmanship.

Professional Results with Simple Techniques

Designed for accessibility without compromising on quality, this silver clay can be worked by beginners and professionals alike. Whether you are hand-forming a pendant, carving a ring, or experimenting with textures, the material responds beautifully. After firing, the surface develops a soft matte white appearance, which can be polished to achieve a brilliant metallic lustre.

Flexible Firing Options

Art Clay Silver offers exceptional versatility when it comes to firing. It can be fired in a kiln, with a handheld torch, or even on a gas stove, making it suitable for both studio environments and smaller workshops. With firing temperatures starting from just 650°C, it is also compatible with materials such as glass, porcelain, and ceramics, opening up creative possibilities for mixed-media jewellery.

Reliable Composition and Performance

Before firing, the clay consists of approximately 92% silver particles combined with water and an organic binder derived from natural pulp fibres. During firing, the binder burns away cleanly, leaving behind solid fine silver with a purity of over 99.9%. The material undergoes a controlled shrinkage of approximately 8–9%, which should be considered during the design stage for precise results.

Sustainable and Trusted Material

Art Clay Silver is an environmentally conscious choice, made using 100% recycled silver. Developed in Japan and trusted worldwide since 1995, it has become one of the most popular and reliable silver clays available. It is also suitable for hallmarking as fine silver (999) at UK Assay Offices.

Safety and Best Practice

For optimal results, ensure the clay is fully dry before firing to prevent cracking. Always work in a well-ventilated area, as firing releases small amounts of gas and steam. Handle fired pieces with care, as they remain extremely hot immediately after firing.
