Precious Metal Clay (referred to as 'PMC') is one of the most remarkable developments in silver and gold metal working since lost wax casting was developed thousands of years ago. This product is manufactured by Mitsubishi Materials Corporation and is available in fine silver (0.999%) and 24K gold. It is composed of microscopic metal particles, a non-toxic organic binder and water. It looks, feels and is shaped just like potter's clay but after firing all that is left is solid precious metal.

Book Description
Precious metal clay is a synthetic material developed by Mitsubishi that is increasingly becoming popular with both jewellers and potters. Silver is held in a clay-like suspension. The material can be shaped or attached to other materials as required. When the material is fired, the water in the suspension burns off and a solid silver object remains. The result is that this material is proving to be a useful technique for those working both in jewellery and mixed media areas. This title showcases the work of some of the world's leading practitioners using this material.
