~Beads
for Bushfires~
** UPDATE **
We got a lot of beads in, from artists all over the world! I'd like to extend a big thank you to all who participated.
Last week we finished the assembling of the jewellery pieces, now all I have to do is take the photos and upload them to Facebook so that everyone can have a look at them.
But now we need your help again!
We've decided to raffle the pieces we made, so if you think you can sell some tickets
would you contact me please? Tickets will be $5.00 each.
Carol & I had some talented helpers
this time!

Victorian Chapter of the PMC Guild - NEWS!
We've had our second meeting a few weeks ago, it was held at my studio, 10 people attended. We discussed our plans for the future, had a 'Show & Tell' after which I showed people my photo set-up and gave a shortt talk on things to look for when
taking photos of jewellery.
Our June meeting will be July 20!
Keep an eye on this space for location!
PMC and Metal workshops
Regular classes are being held both
in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast. Have a look at the
workshops page for further
details.
My
Melbourne 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 the train (Jewell Station!) only a 2 minute walk
away, and the tram (nr 19) stopping
nearly in front of the door, the studio
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 & Metalwork classes are conducted here most
weekends.
Precious Metal Clay workshops 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 long 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.
