DIY Drying Rack for Metal Clay

Wanaree Tanner demonstrates how to make your own bail drying rack for metal clay, and how to transfer your wet clay onto the rack while minimizing distortion. SIDE NOTE : I use anodized aluminum knitting needles as my armature, and after drying hundreds of bails since 2008 I've never had a single issue with silver or copper clay reacting. It's important to note that uncoated aluminum is a very different issue, and will react to metal clay. Many thanks to Patricia Bereck Weikersheimer for pointing that out to me! -Wanaree
