CLAY JEWELRY

Includes 1/2 pk. PMC original & 1 pk. of PMC plus.
10 students max
Instructor:
Gerald Haessig, New Orleans, LA
This is
a workshop for those interested in PMC who have no previous experience.
Students will learn all about this exciting medium and make specific
jewelry projects. PMC is a malleable compound made up of microscopic
particles of pure silver, water and an organic binder. It is worked
and fired much like clay, with the end result being pure silver.
The water and binder burn our during firing and the silver particles
fuse together. The traditional casting process is eliminated and
each piece is truly a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.
We will
make molds so bring something with you that you would like to
create a piece of jewelry from. (Example: an interesting button,
a medallion, an interesting picture frame or an old coin)
GERALD HAESSIG
first started working with PMC in 1996 and was the first Precious
Metal Clay Guild certified instructor in Louisiana. A piece of
his work was selected for inclusion in the first national juried
