Place the silver clay object on the shelf and heat to a salmon colored glow and hold for 2 minutes minimum. Fibergrip Tweezers : Used to move and turn pieces while hot. They are a heavy gauge stainless steel containers that are available in a tall or short version.

The drawback to this type of pan is that it flakes in the kiln, called "spalling", which makes quite a black, sooty mess. The kiln must be vacuumed after each firing to keep it clean. The pan will spall even after it has cooled and been removed from the kiln, so the work area will also need to be cleaned. Firing Fork : When using a firing pan, a firing fork is used to handle insert and remove the pan at a safe distance from the heat. It will darken, but it will not make the mess that the standard stainless steel pans make.

Firing Tongs : When using a No-Flake Firing box, firing tongs are used to move the box in and out of the kiln.

Activated Carbon : Activated carbon has the unique ability to adsorb oxygen, and what a lucky break for metal clay artists! The entire reason that metal clays containing copper are tricky to fire is because copper oxidizes very quickly when it's heated in the presence of oxygen. Since we are surrounded by oxygen, it means that any time copper is heated with a torch or in a kiln, it's going to oxidize and turn black. By burying copper-bearing clays in activated carbon, the metal is protected from oxygen and therefore from oxidation during the firing process.

Certain types of activated carbon are used for certain clays, and you'll need to be very careful where the carbon comes from because some do not work at all with metal clay.

Be sure to use a carbon that has been tested for metal clay work to avoid firing failures. Each type of carbon has certain properties, most notably, the color of the resulting metal. Activated Carbon - Coconut : It doesn't smell like coconut, but it's made from coconut shells. This carbon gives a clean, satin finish to the metal and no patina.

Used with: Silver Alloy, Bronze, Copper clays Activated Carbon - Coal : Derived from coal, coal-based carbon is known for the colorful satin patina it imparts to bronze clay that results from elements natural to coal. Used with: Bronze, Copper clays no patina on copper Magic Carbon : This is a special carbon that gives an antique patina to bronze and copper clay. It can be used with silver alloy clays, but will results in a slight patina that polishing away during finishing.

Magic Carbon is known for its ability to fire original BRONZclay in a fraction of the normal firing time and allows copper clay to be fired at a lower temperature. Used with: Silver Alloy, Bronze, Copper clays. Firing Tools Fine silver clay offers the most choices in firing options. Table Top Jewelry Kiln Either a digitally controlled kiln or one with an infinite control knob can be used for firing any kind of metal clay. Capabilities: Gold, Fine Silver, Silver Alloy, Bronze, and Copper clays Digitally Controlled Kiln : features an electronic controller that is programmed by the user for the specific clay to be fired, leaving you free to do other things while the firing is carried out from start to finish by the controller.

Kiln Furniture The tools used in any type of kiln, called "kiln furniture" are the same. For most fine silver clay firings, all that is needed is a kiln shelf and 4 kiln posts.

Set the wares directly on the kiln shelf, set the kiln shelf on the posts and fire. For other clays, more tools are needed. Siltex fabric is made with pre-shunk amorphous silica and is ready to use for enameling. The weave is fine, but will leave a slight texture on the enamel. Siltex can be used many times at normal firing temperatures and in most cases will not stick to either unfired or previously fired lead-bearing enamel.
