Bronze Clay Prometheus™ - NEW

I'm so excited!  I just received a 100g pack of Prometheus Bronze Clay from Jen Tattam of Metal Clay Australasia and Bronze Clay syringe to play with. 

I've been so keen on working with Bronze Clay since I heard about it, sometime last year.  Just haven't had the opportunity to do it yet because a kiln is needed for firing it as it's an alloy of copper  and tin and requires firing at a special sequence.  But guess what???  I've ordered one (a kiln) and it's on the way :-) . I'm just counting down the minutes, hours and days until Friday gets here.

Prometheus Bronze Clay is really new!  Shrinkage is only 7-9%, firing temperature is only 700C for just 30 minutes, so there is NO need to fire Prometheus™ Bronze Clay for hours in a firing pan filled with activated carbon. How great is that!?!?

Plus, it looks so yummy right out of the package.  Looks good enough to eat!  But probably won't taste so good though.

Check out the Metal Clay Gallery for outstanding examples of art jewellery made with Bronze Clay!  Below is one example of what you'll see there.  Believe me, it's worth a look!  You'll be amazed.
