You can make a paste of it with a few drops of the water first and add the water slowly as you stir it…no lumps

What is the wood you’re firing on? How do you stick fired balls onto clay pieces please?

@silverclayschool 2 ай бұрын

@kathymaree5871 it's a charcoal block. And you fix the balls in place in the same way you'd join any other silver clay piece together. I use syringe.

Just seen this Emma, sounds really good. For keeping it, I was thinking of pouring it into an empty syringe from silver clay paste, that way it might be less messy and less waste than using a spoon of it each time, you can measure out the right amount too, especially if you mark the outside of the syringe to the right amounts.

@silverclayschool 4 ай бұрын

@s.ursino7201 there are several and it may depend where you're located. There is a brand called FYI which stands for For Your Inspiration. They sell on Etsy is the UK. And there's also a US brand called SCP (Silver Clay Powder). But since I've never bought that brand I'm not sure where their outlets are.

How can I dry my clay faster? In the oven?? How long? And what temp?

@silverclayschool Жыл бұрын

You can dry in a low oven. With a hairdryer. On a mug warmer. On a hot plate. How long it takes will depend on how thick and big your item is. Temperature- low. 60oC. But be careful - using heat to dry your clay can cause warping. So turn your pieces often.

@@silverclayschool thank you! I might have to invest in a kiln. A few of my pieces broke in half after I fired them with my torch for like 8 min ☹️

@silverclayschool Жыл бұрын

@rachelwalrath5502 well that's not good. I've hand fired lots of things and they're just fine. Maybe look into your firing process? Unless you're taking pliers to them, they shouldn't break. But kilns are always good and the firing is reliable.

Fire as you would normally. Silver clay can be fired over and over again. As long as you don't get to the melting point of your silver, all will be OK.

Hello :) Thank you for the useful video! I'm trying to attach a 925 silver ring band to a silver clay piece which is fired. Can you please recommend me what to do? Silver solder didn't work, the solder didn't attach to the fine silver piece, it only attached to the sterling band. I'd greatly appreciate your help 🙏🏻

@silverclayschool Жыл бұрын

Silver clay can be soldered. But one thing you need to know is that silver clay is very porous. It's a good idea to burnish the area on the silver clay piece you wish to solder, thoroughly. Make sure that there are no gaps between your band and your silver clay piece. I am presuming you know how to solder though? So follow the rules of soldering once you've burnished your piece, you should be successful. Good luck!

When you say go through the grits twice do you mean go from 1-9 then 1-9 again or sand them twice then move to next grit. I didn’t think lint and dust mattered bc it would burn off, boy was I wrong. One more question, am I able to hit them with the torch for just a second in the greenware state to burn off the lint? Will it compromise the clay?

@silverclayschool 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, go through all the grits every time. It'll get easier with each time. I wouldn't use a torch but if you're having issues, give your pieces a brush with a soft paint brush or similar (I use an eyeshadow brush). Hope that helps you x

I have just watched a video, by someone in the US, who works for a manufacturer of these papers. And they suggest, that you lightly sand the reverse side of the papers, to open the fibres slightly, so that when you apply a couple of heavy coats of releasing spray(she suggests using a silicone spray) on the reverse side, then it soaks In easily. Then, when the papers are well soaked in it, which is shown by the paper darkening slightly(and allowing the design to be seen from the reverse side, because of the differences in the thickness of the paper), then a light spray on the textured side, should guarantee that the silver clay won’t stick into the pattern........
