ART CLAY SILVER
Art Clay Silver is a silver metal clay which consists of fine particles of precious metals, organic binders, and water. It is freely shaped, dried, and then fired. During the firing process the binders burn away leaving only pure silver or in its modeled shape. There is also Art Clay Gold. Both Art ClaySilver and Art Clay Gold are manufactured by the Aida Chemical Industries company of Japan. It is a family-owned company that recycles and reclaims metals, including the precious metals gold and silver.
There are now quite a few metal clays currently on the market--including gold, silver, sterling silver, copper, bronze, steel and others. The gold and silver metal clays are manufactured by Aida Chemical Industries (distributed under the Art Clay brand) and Mitsubishi Materials Corporation (distributed under the Precious Metal Clay (PMC) brand). Both companies are headquartered in Japan. And both brands work in basically the same way, although differences in the binder formulas produce slightly different working characteristics.
