Web Based Copper Clay Tutorials and Guides
Bill Struve has developed bronze and copper clays which come as ready mixed lumps of clay. Hadar Jacobson has produced bronze and copper clays that come as powders which you mix with water. These products are available to buy now. Both these products work in a similar way to the silver and gold clays although the firing is more complicated. Bronze and copper clay require an oxygen free environment to fire so the dried pieces are buried in activated carbon in a stainless steel pan and fired in a kiln. Hadar has also developed a Quick Fire Copper clay powder which has a much simpler firing schedule and can be torch fired.
The makers of Art Clay, Aida Chemicals have launched their own copper clay (October 2009). This has a much simpler firing schedule than the other copper clays available, except Hadar's Quick Fire Copper clay. Find out more about Art Clay Copper here.
