Cloisonné & Silver Metal Clay Studio
Silver Metal Clay
Silver metal clay is fine silver particles suspended in water and an organic binder. Silver clay is always metal. It begins in clay form and ends in a solid piece of silver after firing. Learn more here.
Cloisonné Enameling
Cloisonné is a metal work technique that makes use of fine silver or gold wires that are bent into shapes to create small cells. The cells make up the design of the art work. The cells are filled with small particles of colored glass. The glass is added in layers to create depth of color and shading. Learn more here.
