PMC, Silver Spoon Necklace and Beach Stone Pendant Review

Anne kicked off last weekend with a wonderful intro to PMC, precious metal clay. PMC is such an amazing material to work with. It acts like porcelain clay and fires to be 99.9% pure silver. You can stamp, sculpt and play you way to making unique silver creations. If this sounds like something you may like to try, we will be running our next PMC classes on Saturday March 8th with the Talisman Necklace with Maggie, Monday April 28th...PMC Pendant with Deb. Anne will be back for a ArtEscape Weekend in May...16-18th.

On Monday, we continued our exploration in metals with Diane's Silver Spoon Necklace class on Monday and Sue H's Tin collage People. It was a full house and lots of action in the jewelry and printmaking studios. Where else can you take your family silver and make a sweet new piece to wear or create a tin caricature of loved ones. It's always great to drive by the studio late at night when everything has quited down to see the beautiful glow of the studio and know there is a bundle of creativity just brimming over on the other side of the door.



The week finished out with a great workshop on Beach Stone Pendants with Lynne. Check out some of the photos from class. Everyone really enjoyed embellishing their finds with unique beads and wire wrapping techniques. Pure design fun! If this looks like fun, try out Diane's Beach Stone & Sea Glass Bracelet that will be coming up on Sat March 22nd. Always a good way to get ready for beach!
