PMC is a silver form of clay. It is microscopic pure silver dust in an organic binder, that you can
mould like clay, but once fired is transformed into hallmark quality silver. We will explore the
possibilities of this amazing material, and create a textured pendant, a pair of earrings from moulds
and hollow form beads, and also learn about different firing techniques and ways of polishing and
finishing your pieces. You will also get information about other techniques available.that can be
