Mokume Gane is a Japanese metalworking technique — layered metals cut to reveal patterns within the stack. In polymer clay the same visual effect is achieved by layering translucent and coloured clays, then slicing through the stack to reveal the pattern inside. The result is complex-looking surface patterns from a relatively simple process.
This kit is built around Premo clay, which is the right choice for Mokume Gane work: its firmness holds the layers cleanly during slicing, and the colour range includes the translucents and semi-translucents needed for the depth effect. Includes clay, cutting tools, and step-by-step instructions for the technique.
A good project for makers who want to move beyond single-colour work into more technically interesting territory.
