@ Gale – thanks for the kind comments. I deliberately left the details vague as many of them will vary depending on the particular brand of clay you use, each formulation will have it’s own firing schedule. The clay manufacturers usually have their own specific firing details on their web sites, so you need to research carefully before making a decision on either buying equipment or choosing which brand of clay to use – and not all of them can be torch fired.

I’m with you in preferring the traditional darkening of the copper, and I really like how the raised parts remain shiny in your pieces. But it’s also interesting to see the gilder’s paste in action. All of your textures are just a joy to behold.

Thanks for sharing. The results with textures are enticing me….
