Hi,

I'm really, really new to silver clay. I painted silver clay on to a leaf - not sure how many layers but there was quite a few of them! After it had dried I fired it on my gas hob, however when I began polishing a piece broke off. There had been a hairline crack before I'd dried it, but I obviously hadn't repaired it properly as the piece that broke is exactly where the crack was. The rest of the piece seems pretty sturdy. How would I go about fixing it? I don't really want to bin it as it's my first piece, so really hope that it can be saved.

If anyone has any advice I'd be really grateful, thanks!
