Precious Metal clay (PMC) is actually finely ground particles of re-cycled fine silver combined in an organic binder. It is worked just like regular dirt clay; rolled, formed, pinched, dried, detailed, and then fired. The process of firing metal clay is called, “Sintering.” Firing the clay burns the binder away leaving only the fine silver metal. The metal is finished and polished the same way jeweler’s polish and finish their metal. The great part about metal clay is a piece of jewelry can be made in a matter of a few hours without all the expensive equipment required if making jewelry the traditional way. Learn from PMC Connection’s Senior Instructor and Technical Advisor for Precious Metal Clay, Janet Alexander, who has 35+ years experience as a jeweler and is a national jewelry instructor and author.
The fee includes all metal for the pendant and use of tools in class! All you have to do is show up!
