hi, I just stopped by to say what a fantastic artist and writer you are! Everyone of your books is fantastic, full of lots of pictures and absolutely great projects. Some of the best books on the subject of metal clay that I have had the pleasure of paying for. Worth every penny!!!! I savor each project and each page!
Thanks for writing such great book and for putting in so many photos of the projects!!!

Hadar, I’m having trouble firing your original clay. Half has scintered, half wont budge from the powder stage, despite re-firing for up to 3 hrs several times. I’ve followed your direstions to the letter but no good – any clues?

Tina,
If it’s powder, the problem is most likely in the first phase of firing. I don’t know your kiln, but I suggest extending the firing time to an hour (with no lid). You can also try to raise the temperature. From my experience, if you manage to get rid of the binder at the first phase, sintering is not a problem. Good luck!

From the first time I saw your creativity on the PMC Guild, I fell in love with it! I love your little dresses and how you think outside the box. I am going to try your powder form and am so excited to get started with it. I am a mixed media artist all the way and have been a commercial artist for many years so this is just the icing on the cake for my creative juices!! You have really inspired me Hadar!
