Today David Hughes taught us how to work in metal clay. Metal clay is made of tiny particles of precious metal (we used silver) mixed with a binder. It can be sculpted just like polymer clay.
When fired, the binder burns away leaving a product that is .999 percent pure silver. Some pieces will be fired in the kiln, but David did some with a blow torch. Coolio.
only one more day...
