Precious Metal Clay (AKA PMC) and Art Clay are the two main brands of silver and gold metal clay products. Metal clay is an incredibly versatile material that can be used to create jewelry and objets d'art in 22K to 24K gold and fine silver (AKA pure silver or .999 silver).

I and other metal clay artists, authors and instructors have written numerous lenses focused on specific aspects of working with metal clay. This lens is a collection of my picks for the best metal clay lenses on Squidoo.
