Product Tips
After opening your package of clay, the surface of Art Clay Bronze will naturally start oxidizing and the color will darken if left in the air. If you see a darkened surface, scrape off the darkened layer and use the internal clay to make your piece.
After firing in the kiln, the surface layer of the piece will oxidize similar to soldered sterling silver. You will need to take away the oxidized surface with pickling solution such as powder-form pickling compound to obtain a pure copper color.
You can enjoy its beautiful metal luster by polishing with a metal brush, burnisher, polishing points and a tumbler.
