Metal Clay Jewelry Magic: Introduction to Precious Metal Clay
with Jamie Cox, Lampwork & Precious Metal Clay Artist
Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is metal in the form of clay (microscopic particlesof pure silver are held together by an organic binder and water). Like other types of clay, PMC can easily be sculpted, molded and impressed with textures. The MAGIC happens when your creation goes into the kiln and the binder is burned off, allowing the silver particles to fuse into SOLID metal!!  This class focuses on creating a pendant using basic techniques such as shaping, texturing, adding bails, and incorporating glass ‘stones’. Depending on your pendant design, you should have enough PMC to also create
earrings or charms. Upon completion of this class,
you will have a created a magical jewelry creation of heirloom quality.
