For instructions on each clay, go to each individual project page (click each name above), and see Goldie White Iron instructions below:
How to fire Goldie White Iron:
- Ensure the clay is completely dry before firing. Any moisture will boil and ruin the piece.
- Lay the pieces in a stainless steel firing container on a layer of activated coconut shell carbon with a minimum depth 1cm under the pieces. Do not cover with carbon for this step. Make sure the pieces are at least 1cm apart. Place the open container into a cold kiln and fire at full ramp to 400°C, and hold for 30 minutes for pieces up to 100g. The clay will change colour to dark brown.
- Carefully remove the container from the kiln and place on a heatproof surface. Fill the container with a layer of activated coconut shell carbon with a minimum depth of 1cm over the pieces, in order to reduce evaporation of tin, cover the container with a lid, and place back into the kiln. Do a full ramp to 870°C and hold for 2 hours.
- Fired pieces can be removed from the kiln hot or cold. After removing the cover, appears white-yellow precipitate from zinc oxide. This is normal and does not cause changes in the properties of coal.
* These clays take texture very well but we suggest using quite a deep texture as these show up better than shallow textures.

Colours are amazing, so much potential
Although not part of product review I would like to mention that I have found the effort that's gone into the metal clay.com website fantastic, a great level of detail which has helped answer many questions for me, who is new to this hobby which will self fund through craft sales
