I am introducing a very new workshop to SilverWorks.

Sterling Silver Clay.

I know... those of you that have seen me snub my nose at the precious metal clay phenom are probably thinking...

Wha?

But when they finally introduced a “sterling” version recently of the product my ears definitely perked up.

Why?

Because you can smith with it.

What does that mean?

Those of you that know basic (and advanced) torch skills (I call you fabrication artists) can use your smithing skills with this product. In other words you are not dependent on treating it like a “craft”, and I am using that in the low-brow, Micheals kind-a-craft sense. Instead, you can create some real art treating it like an artistic medium (not just something you stamp). You can solder to it and form it after firing and add your other sterling formed pieces.

Much more flexible for the artist than the original PMC stuff.

Do I still sound like a snob?

so sorry;-)
