Fire Metal Clay

You can fire small pieces of low-fire silver and gold clay with a butane mini torch. Using a kiln is easier and gives you better control of the firing process. You can also kiln-fire clay multiple times, or for extended periods of time, without damaging the clay. Remember that you must use a kiln to fire clay formulations that require very high temperatures, or bronze and copper clays that fire at varying temperatures (called multi-stage firing).

Always fire metal clay in a well-ventilated area and away from any combustible materials. Follow all instructions and safety precautions that come with your mini torch. It is a good idea to avoid bright lighting, which can make it difficult to see the color of the metal as you work.
