METAL CLAY IS A CLAY-LIKE MEDIUM USED TO MAKE JEWELRY, BEADS AND SMALL SCULPTURE. IT CONSISTS OF VERY SMALL PARTICLES OF PRECIOUS METALS (SUCH AS SILVER, GOLD OR PLATINUM) MIXED WITH AN ORGANIC BINDER AND WATER. METAL CLAY CAN BE SHAPED JUST LIKE ANY SOFT CLAY, BY HAND OR USING MOULDS. AFTER DRYING, IT CAN BE FIRED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS INCLUDING IN A KILN, WITH A HANDHELD GAS TORCH OR ON A GAS STOVE. THE BINDER BURNS AWAY, LEAVING THE PURE SINTERED METAL.
