Make Your Own Silver Jewelry:
Introduction to PMC (Precious Metal Clay)

~with Patrik Kusek~

"Patrik is a natural teacher and was very patient with all the students in the class.
He was very thorough and explained everything so that we could understand.
Great class - we had fun and made some lovely pieces of jewelry." - Vona Baio

Have you ever wanted to make your own custom silver jewelry?
Now is your chance (and it’s easier than you think)!

In one three-hour session you'll learn to make your own beautiful and unique jewelry with PMC (Precious Metal Clay). PMC is real silver suspended in a clay-like medium. It’s non-toxic and requires very little training or special equipment.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the basics of working with PMC: layering and adding textures, stone setting, torch firing (affordable method that you can do at home) and finishing techniques. You decide what to make in class; either a pendant, charm or earrings.

The materials fee (paid in class directly to the teacher) covers your PMC+ and in-class use of all the necessary tools - everything needed to create your one of a kind jewelry. You'll leave with completed pieces of silver jewelry designed by YOU, handouts & resources, and the skills necessary to make fine silver jewelry, from start to finish, in your very own home.

The best part is...
NO PRIOR JEWELRY MAKING SKILLS ARE NECESSARY! 

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