What is PMC?  PMC (precious metal clay) is clay made of fine silver particles, water and an organic binder. It can be worked like clay and when fired, the binder burns away, and the silver particles fuse together, leaving .999 fine (pure) silver.  These classes do not require any prior knowledge or use of PMC.  All silver and tools will be provided; all you need to bring is yourself!  Class size:  Min of 3, max of 6.
