Abstract: The disclosure relates to an art medium which is readily moldable, has substantially the same feel as clay, can provide aesthetic exterior surfaces without additional processing steps, can be worked by standard metal working tools, such as drills, etc. and results in a metal end product. Briefly, the above is accomplished by homogeneously mixing together a powdered metal which is sinterable and a plasticizer. This composition is mixed together with a liquid, preferably water in sufficient quantity to provide the consistency desired by the user, the same as when operating with clay. Water is added during molding to replace that which evaporates to maintain the desired consistency. The powdered metal has an average particle size of from about 10 microns down to about 0.1 micron. The ratio by weight of powdered metal to plasticizer is from about 97% to about 91% powdered metal and from about 3% to about 9% plasticizer. A preferred ratio by weight is 95% powdered metal and 5% plasticizer.
