Overview

Art Clay is a recycled product manufactured by Aida Chemical Industries (also known as Aida) in Japan. Aida recycles and reclaims a variety of different metals, and the silver comes from many different sources, like film stock and negatives.

Product

The Art Clay series of products are made of pure metal powders mixed with non-toxic binders and water. When fired in the kiln, with a torch, or on a stovetop, the binders burn away, leaving pure silver (99.9% silver), pure copper (more than 99.5% copper), or gold (22K).

There is also a product that comes in a syringe, and it can be used for finer details, such as decorations on the jewelry or filling in small gaps. Another product can act as glue to bind pieces that are already dried or have been fired.

Details

Art Clay Bronze

Art Clay Bronze can be fired, and its alloy powder fuses together in an electric kiln using carbon under a reducing atmosphere, with the resulting fired piece being solid alloy (copper 90%, tin 10%). The percentage of alloy powder in Art Clay Bronze in the clay state is 90%.

Art Clay Copper

This can be fired in an electric kiln with or without using carbon, with the resulting fired piece being more than 99.5% pure copper. The percentage of copper in the clay state is 90%.

Art Clay Gold

This is a water-based gold clay that can be modeled in the same way as the other Art Clay series products. It turns into 22-karat gold with approximately 15% shrinkage after firing.

Art Clay Gold Paste

This comes in a viscous liquid form. Makers can add texture or draw directly on the surface of Art Clay Silver (fired piece), ceramic, porcelain and/or glass. 77.5% of the indicated weight is 24-karat gold, and will become 22-karat gold after firing.

Art Clay Silver

This is the basic type of clay that can be fired as low as 1,200°F and up to 1,472°F. This product is the most popular type among all the Art Clay series.
