Due to the characteristics of silver, the surface may turn black. Works made with "Art Clay Silver ST" are resistant to tarnishing, and can be easily maintained to retain the original beauty and brilliance of silver for a long time. The silver surface after firing is fine, and the silver product is finished with a purity of 99% or more. *ST stands for Slow Tarnish. This is because water adhering to the surface of silver combines with sulfur components in the air to form silver sulfide. This silver sulfide film is the cause of the discoloration to dark brown or black. The premium course is a special menu using Art Clay Silver ST. The crafting time will take longer than the normal experience. It takes 3 to 4 hours. (If there are many participants, depending on the design, the production time may be longer. No extension fee will be charged.) To be frank, it is difficult to make genuine silver accessories. But don't worry. Art Clay Club certified instructors will guide you firmly. You can wear it on the day and go home. As with the regular course, you can freely make rings, pierced earrings, necklaces, straps, and anything you like with your favorite design. There are more materials than the normal course, so maybe you can make a slightly larger set of earrings and pendants? Put a lot of colored stones. A great gift for someone special. We start by thinking about the design together. Design materials such as samples, photos, and texts are also available. If you bring a picture you designed yourself, we will think about how to make it together. Chains, stones, metal fittings, etc. will be charged separately, but you can use them freely according to your design.
