Copper Inlay Metal Fabric Mesh, perfect for adding mixed metals to your silver clay!

Combine this fabric-like metal mesh with silver clay to create inlay jewellery - a decorative technique where different coloured metals can be added to fired silver, without the need of firing different metals together!

This new technique developed by Aida for use with Art Clay takes advantage of the unique softness of Art Clay Silver, and enables everyone to use a traditional technique that previously only skilled craftsmen could use. Use inlay mesh with inlay chisels to embed coloured metal accents into fired silver, simply by hammering into place, for a unique mixed metal look.

HOW TO USE:

Use a hammer to strike an inlay chisel over your piece at a 90° angle 2-3 times, with the mesh in between, on a steel block or small anvil. Then rotate the chisel around inside the stamped shape to cut the mesh (continue hammering while you do this if needed).
