Married Metal Clay Ring Project Download

Description

Experiment in combining metal clays and produce results similar in appearance to the traditional “marriage of metals.” While it may look the same, this metal clay ring gets around the special requirements of combining two metal clays with some sneaky engineering that won’t show in the final result.

Required Materials: Copper clay, Low-shrinkage silver clay, Fine silver ring liner, Lavender oil (optional), Baldwin’s or similar patina.

Tools Needed: Kiln, Tissue blade or craft knife, Chain nose pliers. See project for complete list.
