If you like the idea of metal clay\, but think that PMC is t oo expensive\, then COPPRclay is the material for you. Costing roughly 1/8 of what PMC costs\, it is just as easy to work with\, and the results can be very lovely indeed. This material is especially good at taking patinas and the colors can be stunning. No previous metal clay experience necessa ry\, and everything you need will be supplied. COPPRclay is enough differe nt from PMC that even experienced PMC users can benefit from this class. I MPORTANT NOTE: Because of the long firing time required for COPPRclay (5 h ours or more)\, pieces will need to be picked up the next morning.
