Omfg!!! I litterally had no idea this existed!!! You have opened up a whole new world for me!!! Thank you so much!!! My goodness! I can make my gemstone rings the way I want it! Amazing!!!
Thank you. 1st video that wasn't creating a thin pendant pcs & flat bands. IE; 1.5mm thick etc. I've never used this before. Always drawn or poured silver. want to create a few shoulder components for a grad ring'. watching all the other vids found myself wondering if I had made an error. I did some research prior as to soldering PMC etc. off to give it a go. Thanks again.
Metal Clay is a great medium that gives you a ton of flexibility to create different things. We are so glad you found this video helpful. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your creations!
It will last almost indefinitely as long as it is sealed with the cap on when not in use. It's always good to check before use to make sure it is still in a workable state.

I appreciate videos like these, beautiful ideas with clear instructions! I want to start making jewelry with metal clay but I heard some people say it’s weak and breaks easily. I don’t see how since the metals are heated up at the end. Is this true??

I have watched this twice now and although I have everything needed I still have never fired up my kiln (apprehension I guess). I am wondering if there might be a metal clay teacher in the Reno, Nevada area that you might know of (or anyone out there reading this)?
I'm looking to start with art clay silver as I'm wanting to make some jewellery designs. I have a question about stone setting? Could I embed collets into the clay and fire the piece with a blowtorch, or would I have to use a kiln? Also... Can I use sand to texturise the ring surface, or is there a tool I could use to simulate this effect?
Hi there. We're not sure what you mean by embedding collets into the clay. Collets are used to hold a drill bit. Sand blasting is often used on metal after firing to create a textured look.
@@FireMountainGems sorry, only just saw that I got auto corrected. It should have been claw setting, for mounting stones in after firing? The sand was an idea for a patternation across the surface of the metal when the clay is workable, then fire it ?
A new word for the dictionary: "Quelching"? Did we we mean quenching? Just checking. great video, I love to learn new words! Is that like laxidazy? Google says" "Quelch appears in unabridged dictionaries, but it has never been a well-established or widely used word."
Hi Luis. We're not sure if Lisa Pavelka has any upcoming classes. We would suggest searching her online for any upcoming classes that might be available.
Good video but the ring you put on at the end was not the ring you where just working on Lol 😂. The ring you tried on was a ring with a stone and the ring that you had been working on the whole time did not have a stone
Totally. The video is more about how to make a metal clay border mold ring. The stone is a flatback crystal glued onto one of the circular impressions of the mold after the ring has been fired.
Haha, yeah, someone else alerted us to that. Lisa just misspoke which sometimes happens when you're in front of a camera filming. You are correct, she meant to say "quenching".
My gosh, so much irrelevant talking, examples, and analogies! This video has more blah blah blah than actual useful information. This video should be half the time of it. Also, no one is doing clay projects wearing stuff and hair style like they are ready to go out for dinner but stopped before leaving house to tape a video.

You are the best teacher ever... explain things so well and great at public speaking
Very Brilliant
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for an excellent, clear and concise tutorial. Planning on giving this a go soon.
Love your molds ! Thank you 😊
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much! This was the most informative video I have ever watched!
wow what a wonderful job ma'am and what a golden hand really perfect
Thank you! Lisa does a fantastic job, doesn't she?
+Fire Mountain Gems and Beads oh yeah god diffently i love her job a lot
Excellent tutorial! I love the detailed explanations very much!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Oh my it's like working with pie crust dough

A friend sent me a real garnet that I want to put in a ring. Can I use the kiln or would a torch be better? Thank you.
great video can you use walnut shells in the tumbler for a good shine
Thanks. Hmmm, we're not sure. We've never done that before but it's worth a try.
beautiful. . . . . thanks for sharing. . . . .
Our pleasure!
Brilliant video
Thanks Jean, we appreciate it.
Great video! How would you solder a natural stone (previously bezeled) on to a pmc band?
Hi- is it possible to torch fire a 8 mm stone? I don’t have access to a kiln and that’s the size I have. What will happen if I torch fire it?
love your videos :)
Hi great video but how did you attach the stone, and was it kilned or torched?
Hello Anna. Lisa instructs how to to attach the stone at 15:40 and shows how to torch fire at 26:00.
Did you attach the bezel afterwards?
Thickness guides for fondant work well too.
Thanks for the tip!
How long does the slip paste stay workable in the syringe?
It will last almost indefinitely as long as it is sealed with the cap on when not in use. It's always good to check before use to make sure it is still in a workable state.
What about adding "925" indicating silver content of the ring?

J`ai cassé une pièce parce qu j`avais une fissure dedans ds mon argile sécher que je n`ai pas bien réparé avant la cuisson.

We love when you come to visit, Lisa! Your personality and talent are just so much fun to work with
We
when did you do the stone after torches
do you glue after touching
What slip are you using? Did you buy it or make it and if so how do you make it?
Hi there. Most likely Lisa made her own slip from either clay scrap or clay dust collected after sanding projects.
i wonder if you coat it in calcium metal powder, it turns into metal on the surface!
Can you leave the clay in the mold to dry
We would not recommend it.
I have watched this twice now and although I have everything needed I still have never fired up my kiln (apprehension I guess). I am wondering if there might be a metal clay teacher in the Reno, Nevada area that you might know of (or anyone out there reading this)?

Hi there. Woops, Lisa misspoke and said quelching instead of quenching. It's hard being in front of a camera!! Thanks for asking.
@@FireMountainGems Omy goodness, you are so right. I am totally camera shy. It's just great that you have these videos!!
Thank you very much :-) Very good and inspirational video. Thanks !
Lisa has so many clever ideas--glad you enjoyed this video!
What is the syringe you use?
Lisa is using this www.firemountaingems.com/itemdetails/h206157bs
I love your beads.
Thanks Donia!
My next project...
Great. Share it with us when you're done!
Quelch or quench?
Hi Lisa. You quelch the fired piece.
Where can I get a class with u? I'm in California.

Not " QUELCHING "
