Art Clay is a recycled product manufactured by Aida Chemical Industries in Japan. Aida recycles and reclaims a variety of different metals, and the silver comes from many different sources, like film stock and negatives.
The Art Clay series of products are made of pure metal powders mixed with non-toxic binders and water. When kiln, torch or stove top fired, the binders burn away, leaving pure silver (99.9% silver), pure copper (more than 99.5% copper), or gold (22K).
The Art Clay Syringe type Range is easy to handle, and you can freely shape it just like with the modeling clay you used when you were a child. After firing at the proper temperature and holding time you will get a one-of-a-kind pure silver, gold, or copper piece.
