Art Clay, sometimes called silver clay, gold clay, metal clay, or precious-metal clay, is made by Aida Chemical Industries in Japan: it's a composite clay-like material, made of fine silver or gold powder and a harmless organic binder.

As it's fired, in a kiln, on a kitchen gas hob, on a camping gaz ring, or with a butane torch, the binder vapourises and the metal powder sinters, leaving solid 999 silver or 22 carat gold: real metal, not something that just looks like metal. During firing, small amounts of non-toxic carbon dioxide and water vapour are released: so it's safe to use at home.

Silver clay can be combined with a wide range of materials, before firing: beads, copper, dichroic glass, pearls, porcelain, polymer clay, semiprecious gems, and fine silver findings.
Its easy-to-use flexibility makes it a versatile material, ideal for art colleges, home and business jewellers, ceramic cafes, craftworkers, glass studios, metalsmiths, modelmakers, and potteries.

The gallery shows pieces made during our courses. Many people were complete beginners, so their work will give you an idea of what you can achieve.

To learn more about buying and using clays, kilns, tools, and materials, or booking a course, look at The Art Clay Club, using the The Art Clay Club link above the menu bar at the top of the page.

The Art Clay Club is a comprehensive guide to artclay: silver 650 clay, slow dry clay, slow tarnish clay, water paste, oil paste, overlay paste, syringe clay, paper clay, gold clay, gold paste, gold foil, and cork clay.

It discusses buying and using electric kilns, kiln accessories, rotary tumblers, magnetic polishers, jewellery tools, pliers and cutters, mini-drills, mandrels, triblets, ring guages, files, rollers and spacers, texture sheets, moulds, abrasives, glues, and safety equipment.

It looks at organising your work area; the techniques used for shaping, drying, firing, and finishing your work; how to use findings and other materials with Art Clay; and makes suggestions about starting a business.

It explains how to choose classes, masterclasses, workshops, and Art Clay Level 1 and Level 2 teacher-certification courses, before booking.

It's a free resource, 24 7 52: you don't have to register, log on, or remember a password. However, it's not an on-line shop so, if you want to buy something, by it here, at Kitiki.

The Kitiki Studio and Paragon Kilns set up The Art Clay Club to collate information about silver clays, gold clays, cork clay, kilns, tools, materials, projects, classes, masterclasses, workshops, and Art Clay teacher-certification courses.

The Kitiki Studio, Paragon Kilns, Electric Kilns, The Art Clay Club, SilverClay, and Cherry Heaven, collectively provide the definitive UK on-line Art Clay knowledge-base and an unrivalled range of clays, kilns, tools, materials, and courses.
The Kitiki Studio is committed to the Art Clay world, so Art Clay is not just a secondary product within an existing polymer clay, glass, or craft business.

Although we sell electric kilns, rotary tumblers, magnetic polishers, and hand tools, worldwide, our Aida contract restricts Art Clay sales to within the UK.
