I've actually not worked with the white bronze since and haven't fired my big piece yet. I have been working with the powdered copper and bronze clays and "love" both of them. And, yes our firing temperature may have been low. It was our first try. I'll have to try it again and maybe finally fire my bigger piece at the suggested temps. I too like mixing the clay to my desired consistency and I do think the shelf life is long. Thanks for your comments. <br />Alice Walkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846033750711880077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2820166730987074703.post-63001736147169706632014-08-04T17:33:22.976-07:002014-08-04T17:33:22.976-07:00I believe your firing end temps are a tad low.

Also, I've had powdered bronzes & copper from Hadar Jacobson for 3 years that mix, work & fire just like new. I thought the point of powdered clay was the longer shelf life. Perhaps we've had different experiences with this product, but I really like being able to mix a fresh batch the day before I start a new project & working with the fresh clay. Best wishes & good luck with future projects!MotherSquidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892391772127194365noreply@blogger.com
