Open Studio!!"

*at Paige Litfin's* 

What a great turn out. In fact there was such a wonderful buzz of activity it was hard to break for the lunch and meeting. I demonstrated the Metal Clay Syringe Pen. With more practice, I am even more in love with it. Thank you Paige for opening your studio.

Art Clay also has it.

Do you wish Silver Clay wasn't so expensive? You might want to consider FYI Silver. There is no mixing. It fires at 1545 degrees and shrinks 20%. The fired piece is .999. The reviews are fairly positive. Apparently it is rather like original clay and also very flexible.
