I love this! I never knew metal clay existed and now I must learn everything about it! This was a great tutorial.
Hello, thank you for watching! If you would like to learn more about metal clay, I recommend our Learning Center. We have tons of videos, articles, recommendations and more on metal clay, including how to get started. You can find it here: www.cooltools.us/Learning-Center-s/772.htm
Have a good day!
Your a great teacher, wonderful to watch.
I have NEVER heard of this, this is sooooo cool
I love the purple ring you have on.
so amazed at what you can do. Beautiful
You are awesome artist! love the unevenness, makes it unique and one of a kind. Love it!
I really love your technique in working with this medium.
Thank you! Enjoy your day!
I'm going to have to sell my soul in order for my hands to quit shaking. Or, at least, not to shake so much. That's always been my problem when working with clay. But it will be well worth it. :) Thank you for these tutorials!
I'm going to make a ring, to set quite a large garnet into, for my 40th wedding anniversary. I have big hands, so will enjoy designing something quite dramatic...loved the pendant idea, and will hope to follow that theme. Should point out that while I am an artist and a modeller, I have never used silver clay!! Loved the demo, thank you.
How exciting, happy anniversary! Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions, we're happy to help!
@@cooltoolsvideos Aha! You may regret that offer...Are real garnets able to be fired, or should I look at making a frame for it, and then mounting it? Thank you for responding.
@@nancysayers143 Hello, real garnets can only be fired at 1560°F for 30 minutes. Check out our Gemstone Firing Guide, which lists gemstones and their firing temperatures and time: www.cooltools.us/v/vspfiles/assets/images/Article-Gemstones_In_Metal_Clay.pdf
@@cooltoolsvideos Thank you for the fast response....you are obviously used to impatient people wanting to just get on with it, and PLAY!! I have wanted to have a go at this for years, but the cost is a bit prohibitive when you are retired. I was going to torch it [after buying a torch, naturally] but am now debating looking at a kiln, as I am arthritic, and holding the torch could prove a problem. GAH! more delay! Thank you. N
@@nancysayers143 If you are interested in making flat pieces (non dimensional) the UltraLite kiln is an inexpensive kiln! www.cooltools.us/UltraLite-Kilns-p/kln-701-p.htm
Thank you 😊
I just got a small sample for a Christmas gift. Looking forward to trying it out.
WOW! This is amazing!!!
Hi there Lisel!
It's beautiful!

I can't wait to get started
I have a question. If you are wanting to use a gemstone like say ruby, citrine, or lapis, or something to that effect, can you solder a metal bezel to a fired metal clay piece instead of creating a clay bezel in this manner? The reason I ask, is that I would like to use these types of semi precious stones in my silver creations but I know they wouldn't stand up to the heat firing process. Anyway, thank you so much for making the tutorial and I look forward to getting a response.
Hi Cathy... Yes, you can absolutely set a gemstone after firing. Once the silver is fired you can solder it. If you have a bezel cup you can use silver paste and fire it in place and then set the stone. Have a great day!
Amazing, I feel so inspired, and also it's relaxing to listen to. Don't you have to connect the clay with the clay next to it, each time it touches clay embellishments the surrounding clay? Or, does it fire and completely connect via kiln? Also, can I use my oven or cone 6 temp. at a kiln I use? Those are my options. Wait, there is a torch there!! How long do I torch it? I'd much rather the first two methods. Do you not need to paint it silver? AMAZING!!
So glad this video was inspiring! Lisel Crowley is using water to connect wet clay to wet clay and wet clay to dry clay. This method works fine. Using a slip is also a great way to make sure that your components get a strong connection. Slip can be bought pre-made, or you can make it yourself by adding distilled water to your clay. The firing process does make the metal particles fuse, and creates a strong bond at the connection points. All clays have different firing schedules. Most silver clays fire around 1650 F give or take. If your kiln will fire at that temperature, you should have good success with kiln firing. Most metal clays can be torch fired, however we always recommend kiln firing. Once the clay is fired, it can be tumbled or polished to reveal the beautiful silver metal. The clay is fine silver or sterling silver there is not need to paint it. Please check out our learning center. There is tons of information to help you get started on your metal clay adventure!

Happy Making!
Beautiful, how do you fire it? I didn't see this in the video, Thanks.
Hi Queeney, this piece is fired in a kiln at 1200°F for 30 minutes. For more on metal clay, I recommend visiting our learning center where you can find videos, articles tips and more: www.cooltools.us/Learning-Center-s/2329.htm
Really enjoyed this video, as looking to start some projects using clay. Although, I don't have a clay oven, kiln to set them, but only a conventional oven at home. I know you can do this with clay, but not so sure with this type. Also, does it dry silver, or do you paint it ?
Hi Jojo, this is silver metal clay, so it requires being fired in a kiln. This particular clay fires at 1200°F, however there are many clays that fire higher. Metal clay kilns generally fire up to 2000°F. Once the clay has been fired, the binders burn off and you are left with an actual metal (silver, gold, bronze, copper - whatever metal clay you are using) piece. If you are interested in learning more about metal clay, I recommend checking out our Learning Center. It is full of advice, articles and videos on working with metal clay: www.cooltools.us/Metal-Clay-s/2330.htm
We are always happy to help, feel free to reach out to us via email at sales@cooltools.us or phone 888.478.5060.
Cool! The only thing I am wondering is the stone won't be broken when burn together with the clay?
+Shan Li Shan
Hi, Thanks for the note. The centerpiece used in this video is dichotic glass. This product can be fired at 1300 degree F without melting for fusing to the silver. Not recommended for torch firing.
The wonderful blue tray in which you do your sanding seems perfect for catching the filings for later use. Where can I find one? Thanks, and I love this pendant!
Hi SuElyn, you can find this product here: www.cooltools.us/Sanding-Tray-with-Funnel-Large-10-x14-p/wks-402.htm

Hope this helps!
if it was a real gemstone, could you torch fire it?
+Dawn Brack Hi Dawn, Here is a few natural gemstones that can be torch fired: White Diamonds, Almandine Garnet, Demantoid Garnet, Pyrope Garnet Rhodolite Garnet, Alexandrite, Black Star Sapphire, Padparadscha Sapphire, Ruby and Sapphire. Here is a link to our firing guide that will assist you when making your decision: www.cooltools.us/v/vspfiles/assets/images/Article-Gemstones_In_Metal_Clay.pdf Have a great day!

is it possible to protect raw stones that could be damaged (I read your guide) by the fire? Or I read that there's another silver clay for low fire, should it allow to fire every jewel? I create jewelry with raw stones in a contemporary way where metal cover like leaves and waves the stone, the classical setstone isn't really my style! So just to know if it would be possible with this technique creating similar jewels (ex. like simuero jewels). Thank yoU!
Hi Eleonora, there is no way to protect natural gemstones when firing. The only gemstones that can be fired are the ones in our guide. Hope this helps!
After a PMC is fired can the piece be cold worked to adjust the bevels like normal silver or gold. I am thinking making prongs then move the prongs to hold a large stone. Can that be done with the RMC?
Hi Tam, yes, precious metal clay can be manipulated after firing just like other metals. Hope this helps, thank you for watching!
Lovely pendant. I would like more information about firing. Can this piece be torched or do you need to have a kiln?
Lara
Hi Lara, this piece could be torch fired yes, but you'd want to make sure that the stone could be torch fired as well. I recommend checking out our Learning Center to learn more about metal clay and firing: www.cooltools.us/Metal-Clay-s/2330.htm
Hope this helps!
@@cooltoolsvideos Thank you so much for your quick response. I am super excited to make this now 🙂
how do you make a coil that is thicker in the middle and thinner on the ends?
Hello, you would want to press out the coil with the snake maker, and once the middle is the thickness you desire, slowly move towards the ends and gently place more pressure as move back and forth. This will thin out the ends. I hope this makes sense.
what kind of tumbler like arock tumbler? so in order to do this beside the stuff you have on the table i would need a tumbler and a dehydrator?
Hi Melissa, you do not necessarily need the dehydrator. You can simply let the clay dry on its own. This will of course take much longer however than using a dehydrator. The tumbler uses stainless steel shot to polish the pieces. Here is a link to the tumbler: www.cooltools.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BRN-401
If you scroll down on this product page there are two videos showing how to use the tumbler. I hope this helps. Thank you for the question!
I have seen instructors use (and used personally) a coffee cup warmer. I have also heard of some people using the oven or a blow dryer.
Was that silver necklace holding the finished pendant made using clay or is that wire?
Hi Maureen, the silver necklace is wire. Thanks for the question!
Hi,I like to know why ,my clay braking after firing try to make a ring and it did crack ,you saying its easy to band ??
Hi Georgie, can you tell us which clay you are using so that we can help?
I was using EZ960 I remember you saying it's good for to make ring because it band easy
Your kiln may not be firing at the correct temperature. We recommend firing at 1675F for 3-4 hours. We have found through experience, trial and error, that there are some kilns that can or do fire somewhat lower than what the digital display states. This can be due to several reasons (age and use of the kiln being one of them). Regardless, and because of lower firing temperatures, some artists have experienced, when bending post-firing, cracking and even breakage of their Sterling Silver pieces after firing at the recommended firing times and temperatures. By testing with a pyrometer, we have found that these problems are due to an under-firing kiln. That being the case, for those artists who wish to bend the metal post-firing, we recommend firing for 3 or 4 hours at the 1675F temperature. This longer firing time, as simple as it is, has proven to be an excellent insurance policy to ensure the clay is completely sintered, and then, can withstand the additional rigors of bending post-firing- this is especially true for underperforming kilns or for those that may have experienced cracking or breakage when bending.
How big is the CZ used in this video and how was it fired? Thanks
Hi Donna, the CZ used is an olivine cz that is 12mm x 14mm. It was fired open shelf at 1675°F for 2 hours. Thank you for the question!
I am trying silver clay myself, and its not turning orange in the firing process. I am using a firing torch. Does this mean the torch is not strong enough? Pls help me :(
Hi Sem, what metal clay are you using? Is it a clay that can be torch fired?
So many kinds of tools. I’m sure they are not cheap.
Thank You sharing.
Approximately How many grams off clay did You used for this pendant?
Can it be bent when ready as normal silver peace?
Hello, Lisel probably uses about 20 - 25 grams of clay for this project. Yes, silver metal clay is malleable just like other metals. Have a good day!
@@cooltoolsvideos thank You
cool
Does this work with opal?
Hi Leroy, opal cannot be fired in the kiln. For a list of gemstones that can be fired and for how long, please check out our Gemstone Firing Guide here: www.cooltools.us/v/vspfiles/assets/images/Article-Gemstones_In_Metal_Clay.pdf
Disculpa pero que material usas?
Hola, puedes encontrar todos los productos utilizados en este video aquí: www.cooltools.us/Art-Nouveau-Silver-Metal-Clay-Pendant-s/2125.htm
Why aren’t you using tradional cards instead of plate frames? Or a rolling pin?
Hello, the rolling frames and non stick rollers are much easier to use. You can find these here: www.cooltools.us/Clay-Thickness-Rolling-Frames-s/521.htm
Hi there, the stones dont mind the heat?
Hi Asayam, correct. There are many stones that can be fired in a kiln. Please refer to our Gemstone Firing Guide for which stones can and cannot be fired in a kiln and at what temperatures: www.cooltools.us/v/vspfiles/assets/images/Article-Gemstones_In_Metal_Clay.pdf
CoolToolsVideos Ok thanks i will! Great videos thanks for sharing ❤
How do you polish clay ?
Hi Lucia, you can polish fired metal clay many ways. You can use a tumbler filled with stainless steel shot, polishing paper, or a variety of machines used for polishing. You can find our polishing products here: www.cooltools.us/Finishing-and-Polishing-s/329.htm
Have a good day!
Thank you so much.
what if you don't have a kiln?
Hi Jeanette, you can fire the Art Clay Silver used in this video using a torch at red glow for about 5 minutes depending on the size of the piece. Here is a link to Art Clay Silver. www.cooltools.us/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACS-107-P
If you scroll down there is a table showing the firing options. I hope this helps!
What happens if you over or under torch it?
Good question Jeannette Baker. I would also like to know
CLEAN THOSE FINGERNAILS GIRL 😳😳. Beautiful work!!!!
Looks almost exactly ike the pendants I've been selling.
Wait....you glossed over the most important thing! What IS this stuff and how does it work? It's clay? Then you fire it and it turns into metal? You can fire it with the stone inside without breaking the stone? How hot? Do you need a kiln or is this an oven thing?
Hello, this is called metal clay. It's a binder mixed with silver particles, so that when it's fired in a kiln, the binders burn off and you are left with actual metal. There is a wide range of gemstones that can be fired in a kiln, which we have listed in our Gemstone Firing Guide. There are some clays that you can fire with a torch, however firing in a kiln is always recommended. To learn more, check out our Learning Center: www.cooltools.us/Metal-Clay-s/2330.htm

@@cooltoolsvideos Thank you so much! I had no idea this existed. What an exciting product!
@@Chill1332 It's pretty amazing!
I got through 6 minutes of your Video and like your style. I just watched an Hour Plus Video before I watched Yours and the 10 year's experience this person had in my opinion was sloppy.. I am a Professional Fine Art Photographer, Artist in Oil ,, Acrylic,, Lacquer with Brush,, Air Brush,, etc and I guess my downfall is I am a Perfectionist. I grew up working in my dads Auto Body Shop building cars and custom painting so you can imagine the tedious job doing air brush murals on Cars, and Motorcycles was.. Now being disabled from an Auto Accident with a Drunk Driver I have been painting on canvas and board and was looking for something more creative and thought Medal Art was something I would like to try . Thank You I will keep an eye out for any other videos you may have done... Again Thank You!
the unevenness hurts my soul
Yes,my friend,it does.
Вещи красивые! Но ногти!!((( Ну почистите ногти! это ужас((
Почисти ногти!
