Metal Clay

What is Metal Clay?

 Over a decade ago a Japanese scientist named Dr. M Morikawa invented a material that consisted of finely

powdered pure metal combined with a nontoxic organic binder, and water.  What resulted was a substance

that could be manipulated like clay, dried, then fired in a kiln resulting in the binder and water dissipating, leaving

the metal in the shape it was formed into.

Magic! This process allowed the novice jewelry enthusiast to create stunning fine silver, gold, copper, bronze, and steel

jewelry pieces without the expensive tools or training needed for fabricating and soldering.

Metal Clay is produced by two  manufacturer's in lump, paste, paper, and syringe form and offers the user

great versatility to combine synthetic gems, enamel, and glass forms.  Each metal clay formula requires it's own

firing time and temperature.
