What can I make from 7gm of Art Clay Silver?
Use this kit to make real fine silver pendants, charms, or earrings.
To give you an idea of how much you can make; the picture here shows 7gm of clay (what is included in this kit) rolled out 1.5mm thick (the thickness of the spacers in this kit).
As you can see, you can easily make 2 good sized pendants, with enough left for 2-3 mini pendants or charms.
Rolling out at 1.5mm thickness is a good idea when you begin with silver clay, this gives you a little extra thickness to allow you to imprint textures without making parts too thin, and gives you a stronger end result.
We usually say 1mm is the minimum thickness you should use when rolling out clay, so this is 0.5mm thicker than that. As you get comfortable you will be know when and how you can work with slightly thinner sheets of clay.

Great starter kit
Great starter kit with lots of items to use and get to know. I would say the instructions could be in more detail so definitely start with some YouTube videos before you begin using the silver clay. Great number of tools included in the box and polishing cloths were amazing - really helped getting that mirror finish!
