22k GOLD FUSION ON COPPER/SILVER
(or how I learned to love Aura 22)

Christopher Darway


Mechanisms
Aura 22 was developed to be used on fine silver metal clay as an alternative/supplement to Keum-Boo. This new method allows us to apply Aura 22 to not only fine silver but sterling and copper.

Instead of a kiln we’ll use a torch. Once fired the material can be rolled, fold formed, soldered on, drilled and etched.

​Aura 22 fired pieces are perfect for enameling.
