It’s not too early to start creating holiday gifts! Learn how to make beautiful fine silver jewelry using a truly amazing material called Precious Metal Clay (PMC). Don’t be intimidated—this class is for beginners!

PMC is exactly what its name describes – metal, but in the form of clay! The clay body of PMC is made up of microscopic particles of metal, in this case fine silver, held together by an organic binder and water. Like other types of clay, PMC can easily be sculpted, molded and impressed with textures or stamps. The truly unique difference between other clay bodies and PMC is that during firing, PMC’s binders and water burn off allowing the silver particles to fuse into SOLID metal!!

During this fun workshop students will be taught a variety of basic techniques that will enable them to create their own one-of-a-kind silver creations. Techniques covered: stamping and texture, creating bails, and torch firing.
