"Precious Metal Clay, also known as PMC, Art Clay Silver, Metal Clay, etc., is made up of particles of precious metal held together with water and an organic binder.
After a metal clay object has been fired with a torch or in a kiln, the water is eliminated and the binder is burned away. What's is left is the pure, precious metal.
Originally produced in gold and silver forms, it is now available in copper, bronze and stainless steel.
Metal clay allows you extraordinary creativity because it can be formed into nearly any shape you desire.
It can be molded, shaped by hand, cut, extruded via syringe, painted onto a form, and more.
It can be embedded with certain natural and synthetic gemstones (either faceted or cabochon stones) and settings can be created for gems and other stones that cannot withstand the heat needed to fire the metal clay and need to be set after firing. No matter what your level of expertise and confidence, you will be amazed at what you can create with this exciting and wonderful medium." Precious Metal Clay Resource by Lisel
