## Overview

AUREUS™ Bright Bronze Clay (50) is a premium, USA-made bronze clay designed for professional artists and makers. It requires a precise two-stage kiln firing with carbon to achieve its signature bright bronze finish, featuring a controlled 10-11% shrinkage rate for predictable results. Ideal for detailed modeling, this clay offers an economical and reliable medium for creating stunning bronze pieces that demand kiln use for optimal performance.

## Description

Offered in lump (wet) form, this clay results in a beautiful, bright bronze when fired. Economical, easy to form, fire and finish. Made in the USA. Kiln Fire: 2 Stage - Carbon Required. Shrinkage: 10-11% Firing Aureus Bright Bronze Clay requires a two phase firing. The first Phase completely burns out the binder, which helps the work sinter properly in the second phase. Many kilns fire hotter or cooler than their digital read-outs state. It is a good idea to test your kiln for temperature accuracy. This can be done with a hand-held digital pyrometer. Phase 1 Firing Full ramp to 650°F/ 343° and hold for 30 minutes -Option 1 Arrange greenware on a mesh firing rack. Additional pieces can be stacked using more mesh firing racks separated with kiln posts. Raise the mesh firing rack(s) off the kiln floor with a few more kiln posts for air circulation. -Option 2 The greenware can be placed on top of 1” of activated carbon in a steel firing container. Do not add activated carbon on top of the greenware for phase 1 firing. Laying flat can create little indents because bronze gets soft while sintering. Best to lay flat pieces vertical in the carbon. Note | A slower phase 1 firing is needed for any piece that has areas that are 3mm (12 cards) thick or thicker. Ramp 300°F/ 149°C hour to 600°F/ 315°C and hold for 15 minutes. Phase 2 Firing Full ramp to 1400°F/ 760°C and hold for 2 hours Once the greenware has cooled enough to handle after the first firing phase, gently transfer the work to a kiln vessel, such as a steel firing container that has at least 1” of activated carbon spread on the bottom. Arrange the pieces with at least ½” of space between them. Cover all pieces with at least 1” of activated carbon. Additional work can be added in layers as long as there is 1” of activated carbon above and below each piece. Fire with a slotted lid or lid ajar. Do not cover firing container completely.

Review: Easy to use. Tougher than expected before firing. - Being new to metal clay, I was really happy with the workability of the product. I’ve made several pieces and the only problem I’ve had was breaking one of them after the first phase fire. I now refrain from handling at all and just pour more carbon on top. I have been surprised at the slight flexibility of the dried clay before firing, and was able to press slightly warped pieces until flat. Carves and sands nicely too. And of course it looks great when finished.
Review: I recommend starting with bronze clay learning how it works - Great value for the money easy to use high quality clay highly recommend starting with bronze and complicated before moving on to the more expensive precious metals this is where you start and what you learnon before buying silver and gold there's a learning curve working with precious metal plays I recommend starting with bronze the technique down

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use. Tougher than expected before firing.
*by S***P on March 22, 2024*

Being new to metal clay, I was really happy with the workability of the product. I’ve made several pieces and the only problem I’ve had was breaking one of them after the first phase fire.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recommend starting with bronze clay learning how it works
*by S***M on February 2, 2025*

Great value for the money easy to use high quality clay highly recommend starting with bronze and complicated before moving on to the more expensive precious metals this is where you start and what you learnon before buying silver and gold there's a learning curve working with precious metal plays I recommend starting with bronze the technique down

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The cheapest way to experiment with this technique. Instructions are not detailed enough
*by P***Z on January 23, 2025*

It's the cheapest way to experiment with metal clay. When you start working with metal clay (silver clay...) it's very common to spend at least 100-200 g in experiments that are not going to be good enough, as part of our discovery journey and process learning from this new technique. The instructions to use the oven with this brand are really hard to find and hard to understand. They lack crucial details to ensure that the process will be successful. There are some videos on youtube but only from the part when you mold the pieces out (the fun part), not the part with the oven. I beg the owners of this brand to do something about it!!!!! The size and type of the coal, the way they are spaced out inside and the way you handle the temperature in the oven will affect the outcome of your pieces. Some of them may crack, and that's why I prefer to keep using this. If I make a mistake it is not that painful.
