tip from a ceramist; use a damp soft bristle brush (I personally use watercolour brushes) to go over your design at the end to smooth it out. Works way better than your fingers and it'll save you a lot of dremmeling

This channel has lasted the longest for me to not skip through the add.

You can break it down into a slip and paint it on the underside of a tiny leaf and it makes a lovely pendant.

My aunt gave me what remained of a silver clay kit she bought years ago. I made a pretty chonky skull pendant with it, and I still have enough clay left over to make a ring with it. It's the exact same brand as yours. In my opinion it's kind of a pain to work with, but if you're patient with it you'll get amazing results.

Alright so now that I've watched the video, I noticed a few things which I find superrr interesting! First off, my clay was, i wanna say, 12 years old? Plus they might've changed the formula over that time. So that might be a reason for any differences between the stuff my clay did vs yours. First off, ny clay was totally geared towards firing on top of a gas stove! I was very surprised that yours was for use in a kiln. Maybe it's a different kind? If they still sell the gas stove kind you might want to check it out. Cause... My clay didn't become droopy at all! That was the biggest difference between mine and yours: I didn't have any droopiness issues. Speaking of, I love how you dealed with the droop by making a droopy ring. Very clever. Anyway, my clay kit also included more instructions I think. Maybe that's also because of the clay being different but anyways: I had to let the clay dry COMPLETELY before firing it, otherwise the world was gonna end or something. Idk if you have to do that or if you did it but idk why not try it? Also it said to heat until the piece got a peach colour and then it was done iirc. The kit also included a wooden ring stick whatchamacallit. Maybe the clay sticks less to wood? Lastly idk if you're interested in this but I remember that the clay consists of silver powder and organic material. When you fire the clay (the kind i used at least( apparently the organic stuff burned away, and the silver powder melted together. The piece is supposed to be 99% silver through and through. Which to my brain means that if you mess up firing a piece you could always use it as 99% silver in one of your other projects welding stuff together. Idk I'm sure you'll think of something. Maybe melting it and casting something idk. Sorry for the wall of text, I hope you have a great day :]

I went directly to the Art Clay Silver website, and on the page for their starter kit, they do still talk about heating it over a gas stove.

It's so cool! I think it might work better in a mold than shaping it by hand since it breaks easily and you lose a lot of product just touching it

This would be super cute to make a fingerprint ring for a loved one

There was a silver clay trend around the mid 00'? Iirc? And fingerprint jewelry was one of the things a lot of people made! Super cute.

Does this clay exist as 3D printer filament yet? Imagine just printing3 out a perfect clay ring, firing it up and it's silver and ready for the gem stone. Imean, if there's giant printers out there that use cement as filament, this shouldn't that difficult to pull off.

No but the easiest way to essentially get that effect is to just do a 3D model of the jewelry you want to make, print it out, and then cast it! It’s typically how production style jewelry works and is the fastest and easiest way to make bulk jewelry!

I remember my first few pieces- I’m self taught, too. PMC is fun, and is a medium that is very flexible in style. The object d’art can be rough or fine, sculpted or molded, flat or 3D (my last piece was a standard sized D20 that hangs on an adjustable leather cord. Purchase some modeling cork to create 3D objects (used to create the shape’s hollow). You’ll love it!

please consider gloves my friend it can conserve some of that material that is being absorbed in your skin. plus our skin is our biggest organ it probably doesn't wanna eat silver clay. love your work!

try 925 for rings, the fine silver is too soft (: love ya

Been working with this since the 90s. Please use oil lol

On the website for the clay they suggest using a hair dryer to dry it.

Just took a class recently and we dried our clay pieces in a dehydrator. This way they stay in the shape you want and don’t break while firing due to hidden pockets of moisture. Didn’t take too long. Also, when doing the final firing, you don’t want to heat beyond the light orange/peachy color, otherwise it begins to melt and loses shape. Once you see the slightest silver shine through, it’s too hot and melting. Back off on the heat. Good luck on your next attempts! Lots of fun.

you can take the scrap clay that dried out (as long as its not fired yet) and grind it down with a mortar and pestle and add water to make it into usable clay again.

Fire Mountain Gems was the first silver clay ever bought. There is a liquid silver clay as well. I’m sure if I bothered to look through the comments, someone else probably mentioned it. Well done. Love the creativity!

Your channel deserves so much more recognition I love all your videos and creativity

This is the most informational video I’ve come across on this clay like by far

Thank you for testing this out for us!

Thats so cool! Love the drippy ring.

You are my favourite art channel!!

That drop ring turned out soooooo dope. I literally said WOW out loud 🎉❤

so cool the drippy ring

absolutely brilliant ad placement

“My friend explained it, but I forgot. SCIENCE!!” 🤣

Awesome video because I probably would've done the same exact thing you did!

I believe the reason why that one broke, was because as the ring was heated on the metal rod, it shrunk, and as it shrunk, the harden part couldn’t stay wrapped around the rod. Which I’m sure you came to the same conclusion. This stuff is pretty cool.

first ad i didn’t skip in a while, genius

really cool!

Is it 925 silver? Prdy damn cool stuff

Soooo cool😊

I have to be honest, maybe the 40% of the views its just me, watching this fideo like 1000000 times per day, I CAN'T STOP I LOVE THIS VIDEO

Hi this is so cool. Can I use a butane kitchen torch? The flame goes high.

I just received my clay, and played with it for a minute. The other vids I came across made me feel like I was doing something wrong, this def was my experience with it. 😅 I guess practice will make perfect?

Those hands give me psytrance dj vibes

how much does it shrink by cause i want to know what the adjustments would be

I love this sea dog

This has been around 20 years. I worked at a pottery studio and this was new then

Can I ask what kind of polishing devices you use!! I have one but it’s too rough and doesn’t polish it enough 😅

nice

How strong are these rings if you were to drop or accidentally stepped on it will it snap or break

Shmoxd!! Its been years!! How are you doing?

I love you dude 💖❤️‍🔥💖❤️‍🔥
