New PMC Level 1 Certification Class

  PMCC Level 1 certification is a two-day class designed for the student ready to step beyond the basics. Each of the four projects in this class combines two or more metal clay construction techniques and challenges the student to create jewelry that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Students explore and demonstrate mastery of basic hollow forms; carving green ware; ring sizing and construction, setting faceted stones, controlled syringe drawing, and forming sheet clay, as well as incorporating functional elements such as bails and embedded wire.

Projects are evaluated according to the care taken with design, joining, finishing, attention to detail, and the student’s understanding of the material covered in discussions. Completion of the class prepares the student for PMCC Certification Levels Two and Three and entities the student to a Certified Artisan discounts honored by most metal clay suppliers.

Clay and tools are included in the class fee. While the instructor will have everything you need to complete the class, please feel free to bring any tools, texture, or supplies that you enjoy working with. Some students who like to work on a larger scale also find it necessary to purchase additional silver from the instructor.
