Copper Drying Form - Bracelet - Set of 2
Finally an easy way to shape and dry metal clay bangles!
This solid copper drying form can be used to dry clay in low dome profiles. It doesn't react to metal clay, and, unlike a rubber form it can go from freezer to the hot plate without problems.
The bracelet form is designed for cuff style bracelets and one size fits all (you alter the size to fit you). It is 5cm (2") wide, so you can make everything from a thin rope bangle to a wide cuff - you could even shape and dry two thin bangles in one go, using only one form! The length of the bracelet (if it was to be flattened out) would measure 15cm (6").
- Fit the form over your wrist to adjust for size.
- Wrap a strip of parchment paper, shiny side out, around the form and tape it to make a removable sleeve.
- Form the bracelet around the sleeve, then use cling film to hold the wet metal clay in place. Simply wrap a thin strip of cling film around the bracelet to hold the ends closed.
- The manufacturer then recommends that you dry the article in the refrigerator or freezer overnight (the reason is that the cold helps the clay dry without cracking).
- When dry, remove the plastic wrap, carefully slide the sleeve off the form (bronze and copper clay can be slightly flexible when dry so be gentle!) and peel the freezer paper from the bracelet. The clay that has been in contact with the freezer paper will still be damp so allow the bracelet to dry overnight again, ideally in the freezer or refrigerator.
The form can also be placed directly on a wooden or steel mandrel. The bracelet, with the sleeve fitted, can then be removed from the mandrel separately for drying.
