Precious Metal Clay (PMC) Workshops
PMC is a clay-like substance that becomes pure
precious metal after firing. The end result is pure fine silver
or gold. Susan Northrup, a Certified PMC Instructor and member
of the Precious Metal Clay Guild is teaching several upcoming
workshops. If you can use a rubber stamp and a paper punch,
Susan can teach you to make your own jewelry. Class fees include
enough clay to finish all the projects demonstrated. Workshops
below are taught in my studio in Tolono, IL. |
