How to make Sterling Silver Metal Clay with Art Clay Silver and Art Clay Copper

In early 2011, Lisa Cain, Director of the Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery, decided to experiment with making Sterling Silver Metal Clay from the commercially available metal clays. This video shows how the staff at the Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery achieved this using Art Clay Copper and Art Clay Silver. Check the first video in this series to see how Sterling silver metal clay was made
using PMC Pro and PMC3.

Hi Lisa, I substituted ACS with PMC3- worked fine. Also, I made my own Shakudo clay; ACC with 4% PMC gold (a tiny tiny amount as it is so expensive!! cut miniature circles to measure); fired for 30 min at 593C in air, then 2h in carbon at 899C. Patinated with Baldwins' it is dark purple/green/gold. Nice!
