  • Re: PMC vs. Metal Clay

    In a nutshell, there is no difference. PMC is one brand of metal clay; Art Clay Silver is another. It's just like saying Kleenex instead of tissue. Whereas "metal clay" is the non-brand specific umbrella term. ~Addie~

But, lo and behold, there they are, right on Ruth's...

  • Using PMC gold on Art Clay Silver & method of firing

    I would like to know if it is ok to use PMC gold on unfired Art Clay Silver. Usually the piece would be torch fired, but the piece is rather large and thick. Is it ok to kiln fire it?
