Due to the nature of the material, silver may tarnish to black on the surface. Works made with "Art Clay Silver ST" are resistant to tarnish and can be easily maintained to maintain the original beauty and shine of silver for a long time. After firing, the silver surface is fine and the product is finished with a purity of over 99%. *ST stands for Slow Tarnish. This is because the moisture on the silver surface combines with the sulfur components in the air to create silver sulfide. This silver sulfide film is the cause of the discoloration to brown or black. The Premium Course is a special menu using Art Clay Silver ST. The production time is longer than the normal experience. It takes 3 to 4 hours. (If there are a large number of participants, the production time may be longer depending on the design. There is no extension fee.)
