What
is Metal Clay (commercially known as PMC or Art Clay)?
Developed
by Japanese scientists in 1991, metal clay consists of pure silver
or gold in tiny particles smaller than 20 microns. These particles
are mixed in
an organic binder and water formula. During firing, the binder burns
away
and the precious metals sinter, leaving either .999 silver or 24K
gold.
Metal
Clay holds the surface pattern of organic objects like leaves and
twigs, and when fired, the organic materials burn away leaving detailed
imprint in silver and gold. A great creative medium!
It
is distributed in the United States as PMC (Precious Metal Clay) or
Art Clay.
