the process with BronzClay

BronzClay is an awesome material that is fun to work with. Packages come in both 100g and 200g packages and is moist and ready to use fresh from the pack.

Forming the BronzClay

I start most pieces by rolling the clay into a uniform sheet.

A stamp is created with crips 2D art with another great process with Just Rite stamp making.

BW art
Stamp

A photo sensitive material cures and creates a rubbery stamp- a negative of the end product.

The sheet of the material is rolled over the stamp, creating an impression into the clay.

Stamp with clay

I simply cut away the extra and let it dry. Once dry, the material is easy filed and sanded.
