Launched in March 2023, this is a low fire fine silver clay that can be torch fired. Shrinkage is 15-20%. Phoenix has excellent, unique working properties and can be fired with a kiln or torch. Because it can fire at low temperatures, it is the perfect clay for co-firing with glass. Its density provides strength in the greenware state, and after firing, it is ideal for soldering, enameling, bending and polishes to a beautiful high shine.
