Hello, I am a recent subscriber from the Netherlands. I love the magazine! The polymer clay & metal clay project in this last issue (september 2009) really fired my enthusiasm. I have ordered mica powder from the USA, and now am searching the internet for the mentioned 'acrylic medium' Cindy...

Hi! Over the year, I've been experimenting with a technique I call Negative Space Caning. It involves creating filigree, chambers for enamel or polymer inlay, and patterns easily duplicated for tessellating designs by combining Metal Clay and a combustible material that disappears after firing in...

I've been working pretty successfully with a Jen-Ken GS manual kiln for some time, but I think it's time to upgrade to a digital controller. (Ok, the truth is I fired a load of pieces into a puddle of fine silver & glass goo the other day . I don't trust the analog pyrometer reading anymore...
