Great
start to the new year!
We
got the year off with a bang again! Classes started
and are going great guns!
It
promises to be an exciting year, with brand new
PMC classes on offer. There will be new classes
at the Intermediate Skill level, but my Basic Skills
workshops will still be held once a month. This class
gets you all the skills you need to get started in PMC
and to be able to follow books and other tutorials.
New
Metal work classes are also
on the agenda.
The Domed Bracelet class booked out fast, so it will
have to be repeated soon. Another new workshop will
be Exploring Titanium. This gorgeous material is set
using Cold Connections, so no soldering required here.
For
those that want to
learn soldering, there
will be workshops offered at beginner's levels as before.
These beginner's metalwork classes offer simple projects,
easily set up at home, even without a proper workshop
space.
Get a head start, successful soldering guaranteed!
The
PMC conference
will be held in Indiana (Purdue University) in July
2008. There will be a much larger Aussie presence this
year, last time there were only 2 of us! Why not come
and join us there, it's not too late to book! What an
exciting three days that will be!
Our
Studio is located in Brunswick (Vic)
It's on Sydney Rd, in a first floor office space and
is right in the middle of everything, with lots of eating
places and shops all around.
With trains (Jewell Station) only 2 minutes walk away,
& the tram (nr 19) nearly in front of the door,
this place is easy to get to!
And if you're driving, there's lots of parking in the
car park of Barkly Square shopping centre, just behind
the studio.
PMC workshops are conducted here most weekends.
Precious Metal Clay classes are a fun way to learn how
to work with this incredible new material and for those
wanting to try metalwork, weekend workshops are a fast
and easy way to get started.
New workshops & dates
are posted all the time, keep an eye on my workshop
page to see regular updates.
"A
fantastic and informative class! Two days were not
enough.
My imagination is running riot."

What is PMC?
Precious Metal Clay® is a revolutionary
new jewellery material.
You can shape it like you would normal clay, but when
it's fired
with a torch or in a kiln, your object is transformed
into 99% pure silver!
Anyone can use PMC, it can be shaped
like clay while it is wet,
you can add to it, sand and file it when it's dry.
After firing you can still work it like regular metal.
Because everything can be added before firing, there
is no need for soldering and simple, inexpensive tools
are used throughout the process.
