It is a relatively more accessible and straightforward process when we want to electroplate a conductive material, i.e., metals, etc. When the piece that is being electroplated is conductive, the electroplating process moves smoother since the electrolyte reacts quickly with the conductive piece. However, it is not the case when the piece that you want…

We as electroforming artists are constantly looking for ways to extend our artistic freedom, and to find new ways of creating pieces for us to electroform. One of those relatively unknown, yet very powerful, ways is a substance called Apoxie Sculpt, but what is Apoxie Sculpt? And how can we use it for electroforming? The…

Apoxie Sculpt, it’s a relatively unknown material amongst hobbyists, but it’s more than perfect for our electroforming projects! It combines the best parts of other materials to form an unmatched substance, that allows our creative minds to run free! With Apoxie Sculpt anything is possible, but how do we use it, and what does it…

I explain in this article Can You Electroplate With Vinegar And Hydrogen Peroxide? (Explained). Electroplating, while similar to electroforming it’s far from the same. Different situations require different techniques, and in this article, we’ll be discussing how you can electroplate objects, in particular how to do so using household items such as vinegar, and some…

Can you electroform polymer clay?

In short, yes you can! In fact, it opens a world of opportunity to us, using polymer clay we can make our own base pieces to electroform.

We can make everything we’d like, such as jewelry for example.

First, we go through the claying process, to create our base piece in polymer clay, after that we continue with the regular electroforming steps, such as conductive painting and sealing!

We’ll be left with unlimited artistic freedom!

Every piece of jewelry can be directly electroplated, from zinc to gold, copper, silver, tin, zinc, and many more.
Plastic can also be electroplated; however, since it is not a conductor, it can’t be electroplated directly, and the process involves a lot of indirect steps.

Can You Electroform Resin? I will cover the art of electroforming and the art of resin the two very different, yet very similar creative arts. They both form the process of creating beautiful projects, where the sky truly is the limit, but have you ever wondered what would happen if these two arts were to…
