Paste
Art Clay Silver Paste - silver you can paint with!
This thick cream-like paste version of Art Clay Silver clay is fabulous. Use it for;
- Repairs, like filling in cracks and ‘gluing’ broken pieces back together
- "Glueing" - use it to stick unfired pieces together, so you can build up large dimensional shapes by making, drying and finishing each piece individually - when they’re all finished, you use the paste to stick them all together, which creates one solid piece after firing. It is a bit like ceramic slip.
- Cover a burnable core, like leaves, paper (little cereals hoops look adorable in silver!) to make a fine silver replica.
Here are detailed instructions on how to make your own silver leaf.
If the paste is very thick, use a little water to thin it - only add a drop at a time and stir slowly.
