Art Clay Silver is a precious metal silver clay which can be moulded or shaped into fine items of jewellery or small objects such as doll’s house photo frames. The malleable clay consists of fine particles of recycled pure silver mixed with a non-toxic organic binder. Once dry, the silver clay items are fired to burn away the binder to leave pure silver, which can then be hallmarked as 999 (99.9% pure).
