Precious metal clay, or silver clay, is made of pure silver mixed with water and an organic binding agent. You can mold it into an endless number of shapes and designs. When fired, the binding agent burns off, resulting in original fine silver jewelry—99.9% pure.
Learn the basics of how to work with silver clay in our introductory workshop. This 3 hour session covers rolling, stamping, and other methods of creating texture and all the finishing techniques you will need. Pieces will be fired during the workshop, so you can wear your creation home that day. The price of the workshop is $90 (cost of clay not included).
Take additional workshops at our studio at a discounted rate of $75 and be able to work independently. You can continue to use your new skills to make, fire, and finish other one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry, and have a teacher available for assistance.
After you have taken your first workshop, we also offer the option to “rent” the kiln for $50. Bring us what you have made at home with PMC3 and we will fire the pieces for you. Turn around time is one week.
Precious metal clay can be purchased at La Mano ($50 for a 15g packet).
