Metal Clay Workshops

PMC or, precious metal clay and silver clay, was invented in Japan. The silver is reclaimed from the film and medical industries where it is sometimes a waste product.

This industrial waste is reprocessed by a complex system. The silver is extracted out of the waste material and is ground into a fine powder then mixed with organic binders and water. This resulting clay-like material can be shaped, moulded and sculpted into your chosen designs. It progresses through a drying and refining process. When it is kiln, torch or gas hob fired, the binders burn away leaving 99.9% pure silver ready to be hallmarked.
