Wood Clay Mokunensan - 300g, perfect for creating hollow silver pieces with metal clay!

To create hollow pieces use Art Clay Silver Clay, Paste, or a delicate open filigree design using the Art Clay Silver Syringe.

This Wood Clay is eco-friendly, and it's made from the scrap material from pencil production, so nothing goes to waste! This wood clay product is replacing our discontinued cork clay. It works in the same way, but it has smaller particles, making it much smoother.

Sculpt and shape it whilst moist, and once dried it goes hard and can be re-shaped using hand files or carved with a Carving tool. The wood clay can also be used to make decorative items which you can paint and keep - the choice is yours!

Wood clay is safe to use, as it creates non-toxic fumes when it burns out.

It's self-drying, and dries at room temperature for 3 days. Or, if you’re short on time, place it in a dehydrator for several hours.

How to fire with metal clay:

• Fire in a kiln to enable the heat to penetrate through the piece
• Heat up to 500C on a slow ramp, and hold for 30 minutes. This will enable the metal clay to harden enough to keep its shape, and the wood clay to burn away.
• Then follow the rest of the firing schedule of your chosen clay *If the clay you're using includes a low temperature stage similar to this (such as Art Clay 950), you don't need to add this further step onto the schedule.*

• Wood clay needs to be fully dried before covering with silver clay
• Always fire in a well ventilated room, as it does produce some smoke!
• Once open, wrap up carefully in double layers of cling film, and put in a grip seal bag, keep at room temperature.
