The Secrets for Making Two Photopolymer Plate Textures in Metal Clay with Instructor Holly Gage

Master Metal Clay instructor Holly Gage explains the different effects you can get with photopolymer plates, which are used for creating interesting textures on Precious Metal Clay. Traditionally, dense crisp images and solid lines are created, but with a bit of experimenting, Holly uses alternative methods to get a low relief modeled effect which gives a beautiful more subtle texture.
