Introduction to PMC
( aka Getting Started with PMC )
PMC is clay made of microscopically ground pure silver, water, and an organic binder that turns into solid silver object after firing in a kiln. Learn how to use PMC to make pendants, charms, and earring components. 5.5-6hrs

PMC Charms
Spend an evening making charms and small component pieces from Precious Metal Clay. With just a little knowledge it’s possible to make great-personalized gifts, fire and finish to perfection. Additional materials suggested. 3hrs

PMC Photo Charm
Use the superior textural rendering abilities of PMC to design a tiny frame for a special photo or paper souvenir. A thin cover of mica adds a gleaming protective cover for your treasure while tiny brass nuts and bolts hold everything together.

Retreat classes
My favorite way to teach PMC is to have students for a long weekend. If you are interested in having me teach at your bead store, art center or for a private group please contact me regarding 3 or 4 day retreat classes.

Beginner level classes assume no experience with PMC

Recommended supplies for all classes -
Bring textured items, brass texture plates, rubberstamps, buttons, lace, jewelry bits, found items with texture, and metal stamps. If you need glasses for close up work please bring them!
