Product Description
NEW - LOW SHRINKAGE BRONZE CLAY. TROY BRONZE CLAY ONLY SHRINKS 5%!
Prometheus Troy Bronze Clay is a clay-like material which turns into pure, solid bronze when fired in a kiln (this clay can not be fired with a torch). It is a mixture of micron sized bronze powder, water and organic binder. It can be formed by hand, rolled into a sheet or a rope. It can be moulded, textured, even turned on a potter's wheel. Prometheus Troy Bronze Clay can be fired with most lab-created gemstones (cubic zirconias), pre-tested natural stones, glass beads, ceramic and porcelain.
When the clay is fired in a kiln, the organic binder evaporates and burns away and you’re left with pure, solid bronze. Brush it, if needed pickle it to remove any fire-scale and finally polish.
You can create unique jewellery, ornaments, hollow ware, statutes, sculptures and many other decorative objects. Anything you create with Prometheus Troy Bronze Clay is a piece of art. Combine it with your imagination and let your fingers do the rest!
This clay only shrinks 5%!
