Art Clay Silver is pure silver metal powder mixed with non-toxic binders and water. When kiln, torch or stove top fired, the binders burn away, leaving pure 99.9% silver. When Art Clay Silver is taken out of the package, it is a slightly moist lump of clay, composed of silver powder, organic binders, and water. The clay is then molded into its desired generic shape, and dried. After completely drying, the clay can then be filed, sculpted, and sanded, after which it is fired with a gas stovetop, butane torch, or kiln. During the firing process, the organic binders burn away and the resulting silver particles "sinter", becoming denser and stronger. The burning away of binders and sintering of metal causes the piece to shrink 8-10% in overall size. Once completely fired, the remaining piece is composed of 99.9% pure silver
** Art Clay Silver is a premium quality pure silver 99.9%. Sterling silver only contains 92% silver or less.
About the instructor: Verona Tang
I've been playing with art ever since I can remember. I started having formal drawing, painting and crafts training when I was 13 years old. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton with Foreign language major; I also have done some post graduate works in Studio Art at Cal State LA. I am a senior certified instructor from Art Clay Silver. Currently I am teaching silver jewelry workshops at several different galleried, community centers as well as in my private studio. I am also preparing for few different gallery shows through out LA and OC galleries.
My inspirations are from the positive energy of the earth, natures and love. I love being with Mother Nature. I appreciate each moment in my life and I am grateful to be a part of art community.
