It is a mixture of micron sized bronze powder, water and organic binder. It can be formed by hand, rolled into a sheet or a rope. It can be moulded, textured, even turned on a potter's wheel. Prometheus Sunny Bronze Clay can be fired with most lab-created gemstones (cubic zirconias), pre-tested natural stones, glass beads, ceramic and porcelain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the clay is fired in a kiln, the organic binder evaporates and burns away and you’re left with pure, solid bronze. Brush it, if needed pickle it to remove any fire-scale and finally polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can create unique jewellery, ornaments, hollow ware, statutes, sculptures and many other decorative objects.
