Art Clay™ Silver - Paper Type

Back

Art Clay™ Silver Paper Type is a precious metal material that turns into pure silver (99.9%) after firing. You can easily fold, bend, punch or cut shapes with a pair of scissors or paper punches just like you do with regular paper. You can apply techniques from origami and paper, fabric and leather crafting.

[Specifications]

Size
75mm-75mm-0.25mm /contains 96% fine silver prior to firing.

Shaping

• Make a shape by folding, bending, etc. Consider the finished size, as the piece contracts 8-10% in length.
• Do not apply any additional moisture onto the surface, as it will remain soft during your work.
• Note: If your piece has a crack, you can repair it after firing with Art Clay™ Silver Oil Paste. Do not use Art Clay™ Silver Paste Type to repair at this stage.

You must fire the piece with an electric kiln. Make sure you ventilate your workroom well. Put the piece into a cold kiln and raise the temperature to 1472ºF, making sure to take more than 15 minutes to do so.

Finishing
The surface of the fired piece will be matte, but luster can be obtained by polishing. (e.g. with stainless brush, burnisher, sandpaper.)

Completing
The completed piece is pure silver (99.9%).
