Precious Metal Clay Level 1 Certification Class
New Projects & Techniques


PMCC Level 1 certification is a two-day class designed for the student ready to step beyond the basics. Previous experience with metal clay is necessary.

Each of the four projects in this class combines two or more metal clay construction techniques and challenges the student to create jewelry that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

Students explore and demonstrate mastery of basic hollow forms; carving green ware; ring sizing and construction, setting faceted stones, controlled syringe drawing, and forming sheet clay, as well as incorporating functional elements such as bails and embedded wire.

Projects are evaluated according to the care taken with design, joining, finishing, attention to detail, and the student’s understanding of the material covered in discussions. Completion of the class prepares the student for PMCC Certification Levels Two and Three and entities the student to a Certified Artisan discounts honored by most metal clay suppliers.


The workshop fee includes all clay and tools.  Please feel free to bring your favorite tools, textures and supplies.  If your prefer to work on a larger scale, additional clay and supplies will be available for purchase.

Please bring a bag lunch and be prepared to have your creativity sparked!
