Kanthal & Nichrome Wire
Nichrome wire is a ductile wire which can be fired - firing a ceramic piece with an armature inside, is not ideal but Nichrome does allow for this with some additional care and ca also be used for hanging small decorative items such as bead and buttons during fireing. Heat reisitant up to 1300c.
1mm diameter and supplied in 1 meter and 3meter coils.
Kanthal wire is similar, slightly thicker but has the same properties, with these wires it is important to wrap the wire in wet tissue paper before adding the wet clay over the armature. The paper will burn away in the kiln and allow space for the wire to expand inside the clay.
2mm diameter is supplied in 1meter coils.
