Metal Clay Ltd on Facebook
AUTUMN 2009.


Hello everyone!
We're heading off to the Art Clay Conference in Jersey this week. Looking forward to catching up with old (and hopefully meet new) friends. We've had a lot of new products sneek onto the website over the last year. They should have been announced in our newsletter, but, as you might have noticed, there hasn't been many newsletters sent recently...

We're still here, alive and kicking, but 2009 has seen new staff, new baby, illnesses, and lots of travels, on top of us being busier than ever. Talking of which, we like to say a big thank you to all of our customers. We really appreciate you choosing us as a supplier. Don't forget to talk to us. If there is something you want us to carry, or you love one of ur new products, maybe there is something we're not very good at, or, something we're very good at (must be something?), we'd love to hear from you. Send us an email?

Take care of yourself and yours.
Petra

Q - I want to make a silver leaf using Art Clay Paste 650. Do I cover both sides of my leaf with the paste?
 A - No, you just cover the back of the leaf, where you can feel the texture of the veins. WHen you're working you'll be looking at what will become the back of your piece. Be careful so the paste doesn't 'spill' over to the front of the leaf. Keep layering the paste until it is about 1mm thick, to ensure a strong wearable leaf. Download the leaf making instructions from our Downloads section for more detailed instructions. Have fun!
