Make Your Own Silver Rings with Precious Metal Clay (PMC) October 5, 2008

Learn the Secret to Making Beautiful Silver Rings with PMC!

In this fun day long session, you'll learn the basics of working with metal clay with a focus of learning the fundamentals of ring making with PMC-3. Although helpful, no prior PMC experience is needed!

In this hands-on workshop you'll learn: correct ring sizing, different construction methods, layering and adding textures, stone setting and finishing techniques. You'll also learn how to apply a beautiful patina to your designs to give them additional depth and character. Although we'll be using a kiln in this class, there will be a demo on torch firing so you can see how easy it is to make PMC creations in your own home. You'll decide what to make in class; either a bypass ring or traditional ring.

The materials fee (paid in class directly to the teacher) covers your PMC-3 (17.8 grams), one gemstone and in-class use of all the necessary tools - everything needed to create your one of a kind ring. You will leave with at least one completed silver ring, made and designed by YOU, handouts and resources, and the skills necessary to make fine silver jewelry, from start to finish, in your very own home!

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 additional gem stones to embellish your creations, or more PMC-3 to work with at home. The teacher will accept cash, CA state checks or credit cards.
