Precious Metal Clay (PMC)

What is Silver Clay?

Precious metal clay brands like Art Clay and PMC are often called ‘silver clay’. This metal clay supply lets you easily mould or sculpt beautiful metal jewellery pieces that can be fired in a kiln. The resulting metal clay pieces are made of almost-pure metal. Silver clay jewellery making is a great way to make delicate, complex designs, without having to use complicated metalworking techniques. Precious metal clay is also available as other metals like Art Clay gold, bronze and copper. There are several formulas available, like PMC+ and PMC3, as well as new formula Art Clay Silver. These different precious metal clay formulas have varying consistencies and firing temperatures, and will shrink by different amounts when fired, resulting in a finished look for your silver and gold clay jewellery pieces.

What is Precious Metal Clay Made Of?

Silver Art Clay and PMC clay are both made of a mixture of silver and an organic binding material. The binder gives the material a texture and suppleness just like traditional clay, so your PMC jewellery can be worked with the hands or with standard clay tools. Other metal clays like copper and bronze clay are made in exactly the same way. When the precious metal clay is heated, the binder burns away, and the metal fuses together into the shape you moulded (with a little shrinkage).
