We will learn intermediate PMC techniques (such as fire-in stone setting), but no previous experience is needed. Creativity and self-expression is encouraged.
While designing, students may focus on technique only or may work toward making pieces personally meaningful through use of color, words and symbols.
We will complete 3 fine silver pieces and use all 3 forms of PMC:
A pendant utilizing PMC paper
A ring set with a gemstone
A pin or earrings with resin
The class will meet three times for instruction. Students may also use “open studio” during the month of March at no additional charge.
