Coming Soon: Hadar’s Clay™ No-Fire Furry Clay
Hadar’s Clay™ No-fire Furry Clay is a new clay made out of a recently discovered metallic element called Furrium (Fu). Furrium (a.k.a. Fuzzium) is a furrous metal that has been added to the periodic table on the bottom left, under Francium (Fr) and in the same line with Berkelium (Bk) and Californium (Cf) – all of which are highly radioactive and telepassive elements – just to create some aesthetic balance.
No-fire Furry Clay is a No-mix clay. It comes in the jar already mixed. Furrium particles are not active when they are mixed with water and soap. When the Furrium particles are in contact with cold air, they connect with oxygen to create Furrium Oxide (FuO2). Drying the clay overnight in the refrigerator turns it into a very hard and malleable metal. Since the drying process is long, it leaves plenty of time for work.
No-Fire Furry Clay comes in a wide range of colors by adding small amounts of powdered (atomized) gemstones to the clay, such as Bronzite, Cuprite, Woolite, Lucite, Candelite, Tarzanite, Colalite, Millerlite, Hematite, Walterwite, Sleeptite and Morninglite.
No-fire Furry Clay is especially suitable for mokume-gane patterns.
It is also compatible with other flavors of Hadar’s Clay™. After it has been frozen and the other clays have been fired, they can be combined using mechanical connections.
Here are some examples:
Friendly Bronze, Traphiklite and Violite

Champagne Bronze and Cubilite
White Satin and Olivite
Friendly Copper and Eyeolite

You two crack me up. Have a furry day!!

Hadar what an incredible invention! I’m always impressed with your creativity and you ability to come up with so many different types of clay.
I had a chance to experience your new clay first hand because one of your students ( LB ) Leaked the information…and samples of clay as well. Furrium’s working properties are superb! I can’t wait to make more jewelry with it!
Thanks again Hadar!

You are too much, Hadar. I thought I was just teasing you about not having purple clay. . .This is fantastic.
April 1st, 2014 at 7:34 am
Oh ! Happy April fools day !

Very cool. Reminds me of felt. I’m looking forward to trying them!

Dear Hadar,
I’m so glad that someone has finally brought this product to market however, I must offer a bit of a correction to your reporting of the lineage of furrium. I can understand how you may have missed this research as I only found it while looking into the properties of non-ulamic compounds that might be compatible with low temperature floronods used in metal components for aerospace.
The existence of furrium was actually first suspected by a physicist in Belgium around 1926. Violetta Feltinhand was working on a new way to produce core elements for use in waffle makers when she inadvertently stumbled on a new material that at once had the retacticle properties of lindenum but the maleabiltiy and setting qualities of molidium. One night when she was leaving the lab she figured she would refrigerate the samples she had been working on. Upon returning the next morning and retrieving the samples from the cold environment of the refrigerator she noticed that her formerly viscous samples had now turned to a semi -solid with what appeared to be hair all over it. She replicated her findings (necessary for any good researcher) and became quite excited about her discovery. Unfortunately, the lead researcher, Marcel Evilovich, realizing the possibilities of his assistant’s find, usurped both the material and her notes and saw to it that she was reassigned to a lab in the outer reaches of Flanders.
After experimentation which yielded various iterations of the new material it came to be know as cushionettium and passed into relative obscurity until you resurrected it.
I trust that you will take this news not as a criticism of your new and quite wonderful product but rather as a friendly contribution to the origins of such a valuable and welcomed addition to the creative arsenal of artists and makers everywhere.
Your continuing and tireless efforts to bring us all new and exciting products is greatly appreciated and inspiring.
With Great Respect for You and Your Muse,
Robert

Can I use it to mitigate baldness?
April 1st, 2014 at 8:12 am
HA! I got all excited because I saw COLOR (I am color obsessed) and kept thinking “Please don’t be an April Fools joke…. please don’t be an April Fools joke.” Got me. 😛
April 1st, 2014 at 8:21 am
I’m especially excited about Traphiklite. You made my morning! Have a great day, Hadar!
April 1st, 2014 at 8:24 am
Robert, Thank you for this invaluable information. I kind of felt it was coming.
April 1st, 2014 at 8:25 am
Brian, that would be to painful.
April 1st, 2014 at 8:26 am
Patrik, Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
April 1st, 2014 at 8:27 am
You got me.
April 1st, 2014 at 8:30 am
Hmm. Waiting for the “April Fools”!
April 1st, 2014 at 8:32 am
Reeely???? Too funny!
April 1st, 2014 at 8:35 am
I have a whole house full of this stuff. Who knew what I was harboring.
April 1st, 2014 at 8:42 am
Lovely pieces, Hadar! You are so talented. I’ve found that the furium has a contagious property. When wearing a long sleeved t-shirt, it seems to get everywhere. The presence of Millarlite may have something to do with that. Happy creations!

April 1st, 2014 at 9:32 am
Reading this, I kept thinking: this product, perfect for April 1! But … this shows Hadar really is still thinking about more color options: next product, how long must we wait?!! 🙂
April 1st, 2014 at 9:51 am
I really like the combination of the felt and the metal! Truly mixed media, but not married metals. Thanks for the April Fools Day chuckle.
April 1st, 2014 at 10:04 am
I felt you really, you pointed right to the heart of it. To day was my mothers birthday, my grandfather told us that no one believed him for 3 days that he had a daughter. Rolf –

rotflmao!!
April 1st, 2014 at 10:41 am
ROTFL- too too funny love the descriptions of the elements and placement on the periodic table
April 1st, 2014 at 11:03 am
At first I was chocked!! (blond).. Love your story!
April 1st, 2014 at 11:37 am
You’re too brilliant, Hadar! All this gorgeous fuzziness AND the long-awaited PURPLE clay!
April 1st, 2014 at 11:40 am
Hadar Hadar Hadar!!! I can see why you and Avi are a perfect match!!!
April 1st, 2014 at 12:08 pm
My dog strongly agrees: Not water or soap anywhere near the “furrium”, please! Where do I click and order the Traphiklite?
April 1st, 2014 at 12:55 pm
I trust no gerbils were harmed in the production of this product! Otherwise we’ll have to revoke your NTG (No Trace of Gerbil) status.
Oddballs.
April 1st, 2014 at 1:25 pm
I love, love, love someone who can do a seriously FUNNY joke and takes the time and care to make everything sound genuine. You’re a genius, Hadar. Sending this to all my jewelry friends.
April 1st, 2014 at 1:50 pm
Exciting stuff! Can’t wait to try it out!
April 1st, 2014 at 1:53 pm
I must be getting senile. Hook,line and sinker;)
April 1st, 2014 at 1:59 pm
Thank you Hadar and Avi! I needed this humor today! I laughed so hard I cried!!!!
April 1st, 2014 at 2:18 pm
No Gerbils, or opossums! Thanks fir the gifts and the little Kuala bear!
April 1st, 2014 at 2:19 pm
This development was Hadar’s own creation: concept, execution, and posting. In the interest of full disclosure, I may have added the name of a gemstone or two. Or three.
April 1st, 2014 at 2:28 pm
You are overlooking a prime ingreident in the production of the clay margaritalite! wounderful posti cannot wait to work with it.
April 1st, 2014 at 3:38 pm
Great Job!! Love a sense of humor. We laughed!
April 1st, 2014 at 3:45 pm
Best April Fools ever!!! Now that you see what a captive/gullible audience we are, might you please, please, please work on developing some purple clay?!?
April 1st, 2014 at 4:28 pm
Okay….so I thought, “Oh good, an easier way to felt. Good one!!!
