We will be using Project X Silver Clay which will be available to purchase from the instructor in class at cost. Please note that the cost of silver clay fluctuates with the silver market. Students are, of course, allowed to bring their own Project X silver clay to class. Please do not bring other brands as the firing temperatures and times differ slightly from clay brand to clay brand.
