WHO SHOULD TAKE THE CERTIFICATION CLASSES

Level I Certification is for anyone who is interested in learning the major techniques using the major forms of PMC+ clay in an intensive workshop setting.    The objective of this workshop is to teach techniques, and NOT to necessarily turn out perfect project pieces.   If your first desire is to make some wonderful pieces of jewelry, say, to wear, you might be more interested in taking the CBJA sequence of 7-10 precious metal clay courses, where you have more time so spend working on any particular project.    While prior training in PMC+ or other metal clay is not a prerequisite for Level 1 Certfication, we strongly encourage that you not register for this class before you have had at least 1 class in metal clay, or have spent some time on your own working with metal clay.     Participants without any hands-on experience with metal clay are at a particular disadvantage in this workshop.

The PMC+ Certification program Level II Certification is a second three day class that teaches advanced techniques using the 4 types of PMC+ (clay type, paste, syringe and sheet). The workshop is open to those who have completed basic Certification in PMC, PMC+ or Art Clay Silver. The class systematically takes the student from the projects of Level I to even more complex projects. The goal of the class is to make the student comfortable with silver clay techniques for making, firing and finishing, using 7 different projects. The techniques are very specific but the students still are allowed room for personal creativity in their designs. This more advanced understanding of PMC+ will offer an expanded base for the student to use PMC+ more extensively. We encourage students who successfully complete the course to teach the basics, demonstrate and share this new experience.

CONTINUING EDUCATION

PMC Connection will continue to add more advanced levels of certification and workshops as our program expands. We also will offer specialized classes for specific artists and media, i.e. glass fusers, doll makers, china painters and other fine craft and hobby groups. We need your expertise in your special art and craft areas. With the combination of pioneer spirit and our creativity, we will bring this media of silver clay to the recognized level which it deserves.
