PMC+ Level
TWO Certification Program
Instructor: Sondra Busch
PMC Connection
$375.00
registration fee
[NOTE: Even though the registration fee covers most of
the supplies and tools a participant will need, most participants spend
about $100.00 more on additional clay and supplies]
PURPOSE
The
PMC+ Certification program Level II 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.
EVALUATION
All
the projects must be completed and will be evaluated by a Senior
Instructor. The pieces are
evaluated on construction, design and finishing. Students who do not complete their
projects during class can take up to 1 month to submit the work to their
instructor for evaluation. When the student has satisfactorily completed the course, he/she
will qualify for dealer pricing from PMC
Connection.
PROJECTS
Technical
sheets for the projects are provided. You may use these sheets to help
you prepare classes or for personal reference. We hope you will develop and teach
introductory classes. We will
assist you any way we can. However, only our Senior Instructors can certify
students.
SHARING
This
is one of the most exciting media ever created. We will share tools, ideas
and marketing strategies. The
products are easy to use, the process is almost magical and the pieces
become precious metal objects. The class is fun and the experience will
open a new channel for your creativity.
These
projects cover the basic use of PMC+ clay, paste, syringe and sheet
types. The Senior Instructor
will do the demonstrations, guide and evaluate the
students.
