What is metal clay
It begins as clay.
It ends as silver.
Metal clay is fine silver in its softest state — microscopic particles of pure silver, held together by an organic binder and a little water. You roll it, press it, mark it with your own fingerprint. Then heat does the rest: the binder burns away, the particles fuse, and what remains is 99.9% fine silver. Nothing plated. Nothing cast in a factory. A piece that existed nowhere until it existed in your hands.

Good to know
Before you start.
This kit uses an open flame
Firing is done with the butane torch head, not a kiln. Work on a heat-safe surface in a ventilated room, keep the flame away from anything that can catch, and keep children and pets at a distance. The firing itself is short - around five minutes for a small piece.
[TBD: confirm whether a gas canister ships with the box or has to be bought separately - carriers often refuse to ship gas.]
Results vary, and that is the point
Metal clay responds to how you work it. Your first piece will carry the marks of a first attempt, and the clay shrinks slightly as it fires, so a ring is shaped a little larger before firing. The guide walks you through both.
What you need at home
A table you can work on, a heat-safe surface for firing, water, and about three hours from the first press to the final polish. Everything else is in the box.
Shipping and returns
[TBD: delivery times, destinations, carrier and return window.]
Caring for fine silver
Fine silver tarnishes far more slowly than sterling. Keep the piece dry, store it away from light when you are not wearing it, and bring the shine back with a soft cloth. The wire brush in the kit can refresh a matte finish at any time.
