| In our ONE DAY WORKSHOP, we How to handle it, work with it...create shapes, molds, create slip. Then we started in on our first piece, using what we had just learned. By noon, these were in the kiln, we were starting on our Second piece and having lunch. After lunch...the first firing was finished and it was time to take our work out of the kiln! VOILA...what fun to see the expressions on their faces. The second pieces were put in the kiln and we worked on the fine finishing of our first creations. |
Jerri and I met last year. She is a BIOLOGIST on campus. She has
purchased pieces of my jewelry in Sioux Falls and we had
discussed PMC. I told I when I did a class I would let her know and I
think she was one of the first to sign up. She is wearing the lovely
piece she made that day!

| One of the unique and beautiful venues that carries my jewelry is the South Dakota Art Museum It is located on the edge of the SDSU South This incredibly beautiful building not only houses permanent works of art...but also has monthly artists receptions and new works rotating through. There is a constant effort on their part to impart the unique talents of artists in South Dakota and a wonderful opportunity to meet them in person and discuss their works at these wonderful receptions. This past year I was asked to do a PMC workshop. Their lower level has classrooms that are large, well lit and fully equipped. There is a theater and gift ship and a play area for visiting children....they think of everything. Plus a staff that is second to none! |
| Our first class this Spring at South Dakota State University Brookings was a rousing success. A terrific class of 6 incredibly talented students had a full day of class. Homemakers, students, professors...all with great smiles, super attitudes and TONS of talent. |

| *****What is PMC™?****** Precious Metal Clay™ is a revolutionary material developed and patented by Mitsubishi Materials of Japan. Tiny particles of pure silver or gold are suspended in an organic binder to create a material that can be worked like modeling clay. This can then be molded, formed, embedded with gemstones, enameled....the possibilities are limitless. After drying, work is torched or kiln fired between 1450 - 2000 degrees. You are then left with a one of a kind creation of pure silver (considered and marked FS for fine silver) or 22 karat gold |
