The Next Step in the Evolution of Metal Clay
Rio Grande is excited to offer COPPRclay, a new addition to the growing metal clay line. COPPRclay can be pinched, rolled, manipulated and formed like clay; in its dried pre-fired state, it's still highly flexible and easy to carve, allowing the artist to apply details and finishing touches before firing. Available in generous 100- and 200-gram blocks, COPPRclay allows jewelers to see how far (and big!) their designs can go. And because it's so affordable, COPPRclay can be used to create large pieces and specialized tools. Rio Grande also carries specialized tools and equipment for working with the clay, including activated carbon, firing pans and kilns. Start shopping now!
