Wood clay is a very pliable material made from ground wood. It is easy to sculpt in the moist state and can be carved when dry. It burns out and has non-toxic fumes. Use wood clay to easily create hollow pieces or open filigree designs in silver. 6 oz.
How to Use: Make the desired shape and dry completely. You can dry at room temperature for 24 hours or in a dehydrator for 4-5 hours to insure that the entire wood clay piece is completely dry. If there is any moisture in the wood clay, the heat of firing will convert it to steam which can split the metal clay layer as it escapes.
Storage: The unused portion of the wood clay should be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then stored in a zip-lock plastic bag. It can be softened slightly by adding water but is best kept moist in a tightly sealed bag.
Firing the material does produce some smoke. To avoid possible irritations, fire metal clay pieces using wood clay components in a well ventilated room or outside. Hollow projects below created by Delphi artist Melanie Churchill using wood clay.
