Use a Stoneshape-like spell to give any object touched the consistancy of clay for the duration fo the spell. This way, you can mold glass, or rock, easily. The truely interesting art, however, is made by hand sculpting steel or precious metals at room temparature. Smelting objects together becomes tremendously easy. The only difficulty comes in trying to keep the structural integrity of the material once it's properties return to normal. A great way to make intricate things out of hard things. Don't cut gems, mold them! Can you see diamonds and a Play-Doh Spaghetti playset?

And think of the manufacturing processes possible with this. Diamond beads, mit holes and everything. Sapphire bumble bees, marble statues with no scrap, armor pieces pressed into shape instead of beaten.
I like your idea.
