PMC "Precious Metal Clay" Class

This two day class offers you the freedom to create to your hearts desire. We guide you through the process and do the firing for you, but the rest is up to you. It's a chance to enjoy the company of a small (limited to 6 students) casual group in an artistic safe zone...no judgment here. In the exciting environment of DONALEE DESIGNS the Precious Metal Clay class offers you the skills to work in a unique and new medium. You'll dig in by manipulating the tiny particles of silver that are mixed with a moist binder resulting in the properties of modeling clay. Fired PMC pieces can be polished, soldered, enameled, and enjoyed like any other silver item. Using simple tools and your imagination you will go home with at least three completed projects and the possibility of more depending on your own work space. Join us in this class and see what fun you can have while being creative.

Materials cost for PMC class: $25 per student. For class fees and more about this class and other at the link below.
