Fine Silver
Precious Metal Clay (PMC) combines microscopic particles of silver with water and a non-toxic organic binder to create a material that can be worked as clay.
When objects are dried and fired in a kiln, the binder burns away and the silver particles fuse into solid metal of .999% pure silver. It is referred to as FINE SILVER.

Organic Casting in Silver
Fine Silver is melted and pored over organic material such as rock salt, pine needles, bamboo skewers or coffee beans then cooled immediately. Resulting silver pieces are then worked into finished pieces with Fine Silver clay and stones before being fired in the kiln.
