Gallery of Precious Metal Clay or Art Clay Artists "Both Sides Now" Lorrene J. Davis, LJDavis Designs     Here is a small Vase 2 1/4" tall (previously bisqued to 1920F or Cone 04) painted with silver slip (halfway up) then glazed with Laguna's R-15 Dark Red and fired to 1700F for 10 Min. I then took it out of the hot kiln and put it in a sauce pot filled with shredded paper and covered it with it's lid.  The silver changes the color of the raku glaze.   The silver was not perfectly smooth, don't try sanding it or the bisque shows through.                 River of Gold By Brant Palley 2004 Art Clay silver paper, Art clay Slow dry and AGS 24K gold Size is 23/4" X 2" wide.             Pin designed by Jackie Truty from the Art Clay Certification class  Setting and pin back are fine silver- fired in place.
