Thank you for coming to my website.
I teach metal clay classes from beginner through certification classes.
So what is Silver Art Clay?
Art Clay Silver is a pure silver material in clay form. It is water-based and can be freely modeled like clay. It is made of finely powdered pure silver, water and a non-toxic organic binder. After it is shaped, dried and heated in a kiln or fired with a torch, water and binding agents burn off, leaving only pure silver retaining its modeled shape. Art Clay Silver comes in several forms including clay, paste, syringe and paper type. This is a very easy medium to work with and you can create one of a kind silver pieces. You do not need to purchase many special tools, but the clay will need to be fired. There are special kilns that have been created just for the silver clay.
I invite you to join me for Play Day. This is usually held at Charley Taylor Recreation Center in Grand Prairie. Please check the calendar for the date, time and whether the location was changed because of a conflict. Play Day costs $10 and it is a chance to get together with other metal clay artists. I try to have a theme but sometimes there is so much to tell everyone that we don't really have a theme. Everyone gets a goody bag and lunch is provided. Play Day is a good time for those of you who are trying to decide if metal clay is what you are looking for. It is also a good time for students to ask each other for advice and help with a project. Bring your clay and tools and have fun visiting and working.
Because we are in a city-owned building, I do not bring a kiln. Kiln and torch firing are not allowed.
