PMC Level 1 Certification

The PMC Certification Level 1 program is a comprehensive two day class that teaches specific techniques using the 4 types of PMC+ and PMC3 (clay type, paste, syringe and sheet). The class systematically takes the student from simple to more complex projects. The goal of the class is to make the student comfortable with silver clay techniques for making, firing and finishing, using 5 different projects. The class will introduce the student to a vari-ety of firing methods from butane torch to computer controlled electric kiln. The techniques are very specific but the students are allowed room for personal creativity in their designs. This understanding of PMC+ and PMC3 will offer a solid base for the student to begin to use PMC more extensively. The workshop fee includes two packages of 16g PMC3 Clay, a PMC3 Syringe, Paste and Sheet, toolkit and book. If desired, additional clay and supplies will be available for purchase.

To become certified has so many benefits. One being....after completing Level 1 Certification, you will be able to purchase your clay and supplies at “Certified Prices”, a great discount! Also please note, the class sizes will be limited to 8 students. Be sure to register early to ensure you get the class dates you prefer.
