Hello!! I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. Yes, you can absolutely add glycerin to make it more flexible. However, please note that this brand, Prometheus, is still much harder in it's dry state than other clays.
Thank you for the answer, I have some old copper clay that I will have a play with.I have another question - can you embed copper wire in silver clay before firing? if I put a very thin coating of silver clay slurry (to help with firescale|) on the embellishment (that I could sand back to reveal the wire etc), do you think that this would work? I do not have a kiln, I torch fire my pieces. As you can probably tell, I am pretty new to this but learning all of the time, your videos are very helpful, thank you.
it depend of the clay ( only yellow bronze and classique bronze can be fired with torch , but u need a large butan buse , not a small one or it will fail . the other bronze clay white /green and i dont remenber cant be fired u need a kiln .. sry for my terrible english and good luck
Thank you Carrie. I just bought some of both of these clay. This is going to make my life much more easier. ☺
very good information better than the other metal clay information.
Thank you Carrie!
Excellent tutorial.Can you add glycerine to make both clays more flexible (like silver clay)?

It says that bronze clay has to be fired in a kiln on the website, is this not true? Thanks
