Product Description
Bronze metal clay is the natural next choice for the large silver metal clay market; its far less expensive, so crafters can expand their creativity creating larger-scale pieces. As a member of the Technical Support Team for Rio Grande (a huge online distributor of jewellery supplies), Yvonne Padilla is an expert at answering crafters questions about bronze. In addition to providing step-by-step instructions for 30 projects, she explains how bronze differs from silver clay, how to work with it and how to attain the lovely verdigris patina that only bronze has. An inspirational gallery and a trouble shooting section complete the fantastic package.

Format:Paperback
This book has all you need to know for firing copper and bronze clay, the information contained seems pretty complete. I havent read it in depth more just scanned the info and had a look at the projects and what was involved in them. The project's end products arent really to my taste so I havent made any of them, but throughout the projects you can read about different tips and techniques that you can easily apply to your own projects.
Just so you know, you will need a kiln to fire bronze clay - it cant be done like PMC and Artclay silver by blowtorch or camping stove, and you will need some additional equiptment such as a stainless steel container to bury the dried bronze clay in activated charcoal substance for firing - a bit more work but you end up with such asthetically warm pieces with a beautiful tone

OK for beginners in metal clay
31 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Yvonne Padilla offers basic metal clay jewelry making instructions using Bronzclay. Having experience in this medium, I found it too basic for my needs. The designs are beginning level, and easy to make. The introduction to the particulars of Bronzclay were not as thorough as they perhaps should have been. Use it for simple pieces that will usually not encounter firing problems.
