About this class

Join innovator Cindy Pope, and learn the ins and outs of creating using 960flex silver clay with the Silhouette™ cutting machines including the newest Curio Machine. ??

960 silver clay is a mixture of 50% PMC sterling clay and 50% of any other fine silver clay. The finished strength of 960 clays is greatly superior to the strength of fine silver. Unlike sterling clay, 960flex can be fired in the kiln without carbon.

  • Learn how the use of 960 clays can save substantially in material costs by allowing for thinner stronger projects using less clay
  • Rethink the thickness of ring bands and finally create lightweight thin earrings from metal clay
  • Learn how combining sterling and PMCFlex clay (960flex) creates the perfect clay for easily cutting and forming projects using the Silhouette™ cutting machines. The flexibility of this combination in its dry state allows for cutting and texturizing the clay using the Silhouette™ and forming the dry clay into rings, cabochons and other curved forms. Up until now those shapes have only been possible with glycerin clay or wet construction
  • Learn construction techniques very specific to the use of PMCFlex clay
  • Create professional-looking foolproof stone settings
  • There will be a fantastic design how-to that will make designing simple silhouette projects easy.
  • Included for FREE some of Cindy’s favorite textures and design project files, PLUS an additional Curio Cutter video tutorial plus step-by-step designing a trillion bezel using the Silhouette software.
