About the process and Metal Clay:
My pieces are crafted from nature or my own sculpts. After sculpting the original from polymer clay, I created a mold ready to cast in Metal Clay. Each piece will have its own uniqueness due to being handmade.
Metal Clay comes in various types. It is finely ground to a powder to which a binder is then added. It is completely non toxic and easily mixed into a ‘clay’ to a workable form. After molding the ‘clay’, it is left to dry – I then carefully shape and file it ready for firing. It is fired in a Kiln up to temperatures of 950C (to sintering levels) in which the binder is fired out and only the solid metal remains. It is then cleaned and tumbled until it is shining. Finally it is polished and finished ready to be worn.
