Join Mary for two days of creating beautiful jewelry with Precious Metal Clay (PMC)!

PMC is a new and exciting medium that requires no jewelry or metalworking experience. The clay is made of molecular-sized particles of fine silver in an organic binder. It can be formed, carved, stamped, folded and molded!

Students may choose to do one day or both.

For beginners, Day One will include an introduction to PMC during which students will learn to create pendants, earrings, beads and bails as well as learn finishing and coloring techniques. (Average material fee for the introduction is $50.)

Day Two requires some experience with PMC and students will have the opportunity to make and design their own rings, learn the techniques needed to size a ring and add texture, as well as different ways to set fire-in-place faceted stones. Every student will leave with finished works of art!
