Art Clay, sometimes called silver clay, gold clay, metal clay, or precious-metal clay, is made by Aida Chemical Industries in Japan: it's a composite clay-like material, made of fine silver or gold powder and a harmless organic binder.

Straight from the packet, it looks and feels like plasticene: so you can shape it easily, using familiar modelling tools and similar techniques. Its flexibility makes it a versatile material, ideal for home crafts, jewellery workshops, metalsmiths, modelmakers, glass studios, ceramic cafes, potteries, and art colleges.

When Art Clay 650 Silver is fired, in a kiln, on a kitchen gas hob, on a camping gaz ring, or with a butane torch, it turns into real solid 999 silver: not something that just looks like silver.

The Art Clay range includes: 650 silver clay, original silver, slow dry, slow tarnish, paste, oil paste, overlay paste, syringe clay, paper clay, gold clay, gold paste, gold foil, and cork clay.

Art Clay is easy to work with: you can shape it in minutes, dry it quickly with a hair drier, fire it on your kitchen gas hob, and polish it with toothpaste. You start with soft clay and end up with real solid 999 silver: ready to wear, give, or sell.

You can design and make your own unique necklaces, bracelets, charms, keepsakes, earrings, rings, brooches, anklets, ornaments, and seasonal decorations.

You can add silver clasps to clothes, overlays to gift cards, motifs to handbags, highlights to wood, ceramics, glass, and shells, and produce complex shapes and patterns from moulds.

You could also take a teacher-certification course, start your own business, resell all the clays, kilns, and tools, and run your own courses.
