Art Clay Silver Paste 10g
€39.95
This thick cream-like paste version of Art Clay Silver clay is fabulous. Use it for;
Repairs, like filling in cracks and "gluing" broken pieces back together
"Gluing" - use it to stick unfired pieces together, so you can build up large dimensional shapes by making, drying and finishing each piece individually - when they're all finished, you use the paste to stick them all together, which creates one solid piece after firing. It is a bit like ceramic slip.
Cover a burnable core, like leaves, paper (little cereals hoops look adorable in silver!) to make a fine silver replica.
If the paste is very thick, use a little water to thin it - only add a drop at a time and stir slowly.
Firing range 650°C - 800°C as before
Create textures and especially the reproduction of leaves and other objects from nature.
Typically, Art Clay Paste is applied with a brush with synthetic bristles. If you want to apply several layers (for leaves approx. 10 - 12 individual layers), make sure to dry each application before adding the next one.
The bottle usually stays open during the work, i.e. the water may evaporate a little. In this case just add a couple of drops of distilled water, close the bottle so that the water can be absorbed homogenously into the paste. You can also generate Art Clay paste from dust produced from sanding or grinding. Add this dust to your paste pot, add some distilled water and mix with a spatula.
10g Paste is enough for the reproduction of 1 small leaf.
