Champagne Bronze and Friendly Copper are new, easy-to-fire clays, suitable for both beginners and experienced users of metal clay. They fire in one phase only, with no pre-firing or test-firing, and no issues of under-firing or over-firing. They are now available for sale on our online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When fired on its own, Champagne Bronze has a champagne color. Friendly Copper has the same color as Quick-fire copper.<\/p>\n

A separate, 4-page Instruction Manual for Champagne Bronze
\nand Friendly Copper<\/a> is now available for download. It can also be accessed from the right-hand pane of this blog.<\/p>\n

For mixed-metal enthusiasts, Champagne Bronze and Friendly Copper make it easy to create mixed metal pieces consisting of two or three metals. They combine with each other and with Low-shrinkage Steel XT<\/em> to create a fascinating color combination. The color contrast shows immediately when the surface is buffed with a coarse buffing wheel. There is no need to enhance the colors with patina.<\/p>\n

The firing schedule for each of the three clays and all of them combined in one piece is the same: 2 hours at 1750\u00b0F\/955\u00b0C (brick kiln) or 1830\u00b0F\/999\u00b0C (muffle kiln). Those of you who own the SpeedFire ElectricMini 1800 Kiln<\/a> can safely fire for 2 hours on #10 on the SpeedFire\u00ae Temperature Control (#9 for Champagne Bronze on its own).<\/p>\n

To get started, here<\/a> are two beginners’ projects for pieces combining the three clays.<\/p>\n
