You've asked for a longer next level PMC class & we're thrilled to finally be offering it!

We'll start with a quick review of basic PMC skills plus we will use PMC Slip to create a beautiful leaf necklace. We will fire your necklace and then learn how to use liver of sulfur to create a lovely patina (to give it the depth of a beautifully aged piece).

Next, we'll focus on finishing techniques. Project is students' choice - make what you like (rings excluded) - a bracelet, a pair of earrings, a necklace, charms, whatever the artist in you is inspired to create. You will also get a chance to use the tumbler to give shine to any of your pieces.

The materials fee (paid in class directly to the teacher) includes a package of PMC+ and a container of PMC+ Slip, plus in class use of PMC kits/tools, textures, tumbler and kiln.

WHAT TO BRING? Students are requested to bring a blow dyer to class
if possible, and also a brown bag lunch (or lunch money).

NOTE:
Students will have the option of purchasing additional supplies from the teacher during the class. For example, you may wish to purchase stones to embellish your creations, or more PMC to work with at home. The teacher will accept cash, CA checks or credit cards.
