_Excellent_ presentation!!! Especially with the brief explanations for the late comers, without going to far back, or getting distracted! 👍👍 Edit: _Seriously,_ I can't overstate enough how informative and banter free this exhibit was! Straight to the nitty gritty! ❤ it!!! I keep expecting her to get sidetracked with questions, but she's like the terminator, she just keeps coming with the pure information and truly embarrassed to get a phone call and voicemail! Lol She's a Rockstar! 🤩
I have been watching video after video all about precious metal clays for 2 days. (I want to start working with the medium in an upcoming project.) Although the camera didn't show us very detailed shots, this was VERY informative! I really appreciate the tips and tricks shared here!
Note for the photographer. Wouldn't it have been a better idea to get the focus on the tile she was working on, rather than two or three inches before it.
I know this probably sounds stupid and maybe even a bit paranoid, but since platinum is often found in the presence of silver, is there a possibility that some less refined silver clays will have platinum in them? The reason I ask is that certain platinum salts can be *extremely* dangerous to your long term health and the signs can take years to manifest. If powdered salts are inhaled, they will cause late life, long term lung issues (usually adult developed asthma), while skin contact *will* (not maybe) cause varying bouts of psoriasis where the contact was made with the salts. ~eternally optimistic, but always precautious!
I'm confused, is this stuff actually turn to silver or is its just a silver substitute? I feel like it's a silver substitute that you can mold first without having to "forge" it
It is a mixture of real powdered silver and a polymer resin that can be worked like any clay.. The silver is already in the clay while you form it . When you fire the metal clay, the polymer resin burns off and what is left is the actual silver in whatever shape you have worked the clay into. So it doesn't actually "turn into" silver because the metal is ALREADY IN the clay. Firing it just removes the resin allowing the clay to be worked and fuses the metal into its final form. Hope this helps! Just to confuse you, however, you can buy a metal clay that looks like silver but is not. It's called "white copper" and I believe is a nickel copper alloy. It still is the same concept however - a powdered metal mixed with a polymer resin. Burning off the resin by firing the clay leaves the white copper metal just like the silver clay. I like the white copper because it is very pretty and ⅓ the cost of silver.
@@klcwarchitect yeah that makes sense thanks for the info that actually helped a lot seen this stuff around but wasn't sure about it, but now that I know what it is I think I'm going to pick some up and test it out!!! Stuff seems pretty cool
@@cooksongold thanks . It’s informative but just really hard to see what’s going on . Would have been brilliant with good camerawork . Thanks for replying
@@sylviesilver5961 We were filming a demonstration but can understand this frustration. We do have other videos that focus on technique more, such as this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NhBYtG2HuxU.html Hope that helps

Bad photography, you need to focus on her hands to see what she was doing. Not necessary to film half the hall and the people watching, learned nothing from this, complete waste of time.
