Firing Base Metal Clay

A direct and simple explanation of firing base metal clay. The two stage firing method featured is safe, predictable and reliable with all brands and types of metal clay. Just slight adjustments in temperature or time according to manufacture's instructions if your brand is not included in this vide. When starting out always use coconut shell carbon purchased from a reputable metal clay distributor. Please visit my site www.metalclayrevolution.com for more free tutorials

Thank you Wanaree! I really appreciate the information, explanation and graphics. You pull all of it together so it (finally) makes sense to me. Now I feel much more confident to work with my base metals again.

I'm so happy to hear that, Jessica! Base metal clay is such a great medium but not being able to successfully fire your hard made work takes all the fun and joy out of it...

Thank you so much, this has made a lot of thing clearer for me, my bronze firing has often been hit and miss. I find the little folded steel sheet container to put on top to avoid crashing by charcoal very interesting (hopefully it won’t be too hard to get some in Australia). Thank you again, now I’m really looking forward to working in bronze again.

I'm so glad to hear that Elyane, it's my pleasure. You may be able to find stainless steel foil from charcoal grill store, it's used for high heat cooking as well.
