I know this is tricky, normally you would have to fire the copper clay first by itself, right? How about if you fired silver clay with this kind of alloy. Would you be able to fire them together (without firing the alloy first), touching each other? Thanks Jenny, Brisbane, Australia Hi Hadar,

Yes, shibuishi is copper mixed with 5% – 25% silver. I am experimenting with several combinations, hope to show it soon.

In addition, I was not familiar with Baldwin's Patina but after reading about it and seeing what you have accomplished with the copper and bronze samples I can't wait to try it.

It may not be as strong as we'd like it to be. I'd love to try, but that means trying to break a lot of test pieced from silver. I don't think can afford it.
