Re: Thamnophis Sculptures
The clay is literally pure powdered gold mixed with a small amount of organic binder to make it workable like clay. Once fired in the kiln, the binder burns away and the metal sinters (fuses together, but not totally melting). So you end result is a piece of solid metal. Each metal clay has a slightly different shrinkage rate as well so you need to do some math to get the proper size for the finished ring
