There are 3 ways to fire Art Clay Silver: 1) Kiln, 2)Gas Torch, 3)Gas Stove. Temperature is critical because over firing can cause the silver to melt. Art Clay Silver matures at 870°C, a sintering temperature. This heat causes the silver particles to fuse together. This is only slightly lower than the melting temperature for fine silver (961.78°C). Fluctuations in firing temperature can result in reaching melting temperature.
