Our Team
Established in February 1997, Art Clay Scotland are Scotland's original training provider in Silver Metal Clay. We have introduced literally hundreds of happy students to the wonders of this remarkable product. Silver Clay consists of pure silver particles, a binding agent and water. During firing the binder burns away and the pure silver particles solidify leaving you with pure silver!! The resulting pure silver piece can be hallmarked 999 by an Assay Office. We teach courses in a variety of Metal Clays, mostly Silver Clay with the occasional course in copper & bronze clay.
