Precious Metal Clay
Ages 15+
Come learn how to make beautiful fine silver jewelry using a truly amazing material called Precious Metal Clay (PMC). PMC’s clay body is made up of microscopic particles of metal held together by an organic binder and water. When fired at specific temperatures, the binder and water burn off allowing the silver particles to fuse into SOLID metal. PMC can be easily sculpted or molded and impressed with textures and stamps. Firing and polishing of student’s pieces will be done during class. Students will leave this one day workshop with several of their own one-of-a-kind silver creations. Class may be repeated for additional learning.
