Hi Everyone
I've got a huge sale on in the shop at the moment. At least 50% off a wide range of my cubic zirconia range. These are all safe for firing in metal clay.

Yep and I've been wondering whether they'd put the prices down if silver were to drop ;)
PMC3 and Art Clay 650 are pretty comparable in terms of fininshed product. The main difference is in the working texture. As Wendy said, Art Clay is a stiffer forumla, PMC is a lot softer and...
Hi Tabby

Hi Ann
I am a PMC tutor and also have Art Clay Level 1 certification. When I'm teaching I do tell my students about torch firing versus kiln firing. On the intro class we torch fire pieces so...
Hi everyone
I've added a new section to my website for free tutorials. I've finished writing the first one and its a quick tutorial on setting larger & shaped CZs into PMC/Art Clay.

Yeah, the heart looks like there may have been a crack in it in the first pic but I can't really see properly.
Personally, I don't like blowtorching, I just don't think the strength is there. I'm...
Hhhmmm!
Yes fine silver is softer but I wouldn't have expected them to deteriorate like that - I don't think any of my necklace pieces look that scratched after years of wear! Tumbling/burnishing...

the only other thing that immediately springs to mind is to make a copy of the stone using moulding compound and investment powder. You can then use the replica to build your pmc surround around,...
Went to the Haydock Park bead fair today, specifically to see Designer Cabochons, and I bought these two drusies. Love them!
They had some fabulous ones but they were quite pointed at one end...

sorry, thats me using the wrong terminology! no I don't mean "big stuff"
I don't choose PMC over sheet, I still do both. So, my boring life story.....
I had been at an evening class for about...
No Jo, you don't need it to teach - and there are plenty of teachers out there who don't!!
I always say to people who are looking for a class, to look at the teacher's website. If the teacher has...
Su, there are also discounts available for anyone who buys in bulk so you don't have to have the certification to get discounts.
I don't disagree with you by the way.
My opinion is that if you...
Don't worry Jo, I don't think you're having a go at me! I would've defriended you if you were LOL!!!!
People will have to attain a certain level in each of the projects in order to get their...
Anyone can list themselves on the PMC Guild's teacher list, you only have to be a member of the Guild, you don't have to have certificaiton. If you want to teach PMC Certification through The PMC...
Hi George
The Art Clay ones do entitle you to go on and teach others the Art Clay Certifications - which is why there's a lot more people doing that! And yes it reminds me of pyramid selling!!! ...
Great job, it looks great. Well done
