Metal clays aren't just for precious metal buffs! COPPRclay & BRONZclay offer the same direct design process as precious metal clay at a base metal price! Metal clays consist of powdered metal, water and non-toxic binding materials. The binding materials vaporize during the firing process, leaving a solid metal object that was shaped with the ease of clay!

You can roll, sculpt, stamp, sand, burnish, file, engrave, drill and pre-polish COPPRclay and BRONZclay, both before and after firing. You can create large objects too - even shape metal hollowware on a potter's wheel! You can also add these base metal clays to glass, ceramics, polymer clay and more. Try COPPRclay and BRONZclay today, and evolve your design process!
