Product Description
Art Clay Basic Kit with 7gm Art Clay Silver, Tools and Instructions. A great little set to get you started with silver clay, from the manufacturer of art clay.
This Art Clay Silver Basic Kit comes with the basic tools, perfect for a beginner to get started with precious metal clay. The instructions in this kit are really detailed and will give you a good understanding of silver clay and how to work with it.

What can I make from 7gm of Art Clay Silver?
To give you an idea of how much you can make from a 7gm pack of clay, the picture here shows 7gm of clay (what is included in this kit) rolled out 1.5mm thick (the thickness of the spacers in this kit).
As you can see, you can easily make 2 good sized pendants, with enough left for 2-3 mini pendants or charms.
Rolling out at 1.5mm thickness is a good idea when you begin with silver clay, this gives you a little extra thickness to allow you to imprint textures without making parts too thin, and gives you a stronger end result.
We usually say 1mm is the minimum thickness you should use when rolling out clay, so this is 0.5mm thicker than that. As you get comfortable you will be know when and how you can work with slightly thinner sheets of clay.
