Creating stunning items of j

wellery to wear is a joy w

th art clay silver. Art Clay is a cl

y like substance that can be f

shioned like clay to create jewellery. Wh

n the art clay is fired, on a gas hob for

xample, some of the compound is b

rnt away to leave behind a s

lver pendent, a charm, earrings, cufflinks, a r

ng or whatever it is that you cr

ated.

One way of achieving a professional l

oking item of jewellery is to use a s

licon metal clay mould. Due to the c

mposition and texture of the Metal Cl

y, it is very well suited to b

ing used in moulds. The metal cl

y moulds are manufactured from high q

ality silicon, which ensures longevity as w

ll as increasing definition and detail to the f

nished piece. The art clay moulds are

asy to use and there are m

ny different designs available to choose fr

m.

Begin by pressing the art clay

nto the mould using your fingers. You sh

uld press the clay down and out t

ward the side of the mould. Use an

crylic roller to roll over the cl

y to even out the thickness.
To

nsure that the back of the m

uld will be flat and even you can scr

pe away any excess with the s

de of a plastic spacer. Also r

move any excess from outside the d

sign.

There are two methods for using the m

ulds – Removing before drying and Dry

ng in the moulds. The result is the s

me, but some people have different pr

ferences depending on what works best for th

m. ‘Removing before drying’ can reduce or

ven eliminate the need for filing and s

nding later.

Other clay products, such as p

lymer clay need to be work in a p

rticular method, but with art clay d

scretion is left to personal preference.

With g

od care moulds can be used and r

used. To clean the moulds just w

sh with a very mild detergent and dry. Do not use w

sh in a dishwasher or use any sh

rp objects to remove clay or d

rt from the moulds.
