Precious Metal Clay Jewelry Classes & Workshops

Precious Metal Clay (PMC) is an exciting medium invented by a scientist in Japan, working for the Mitsubishi Corporation, during the early 1990’s. It has grown in popularity since it provides an opportunity for creative expression for those people who might otherwise not be able to design real silver (and other precious metal)  jewelry with traditional silversmith methods. 


In these workshops, you will be learning to work with this material, referred to as "clay." After you design your jewelry, it is fired in a kiln and the binders in the "clay" burn away leaving you with pure, precious metal jewelry! So this is NOT pottery jewelry with a metallic finish--it is pure bronze, silver or copper jewelry!


Linda Bodie has been an amazing ceramic artist for many years creating functional and decorative pottery, and is a certified Precious Metal Clay (PMC) instructor and artist.

Interactive in-Person workshop - Masks required

Design & Create Your Own Gorgeous Mixed Precious-Metal Pendant: No Experience Required!

In this 2-Week Workshop, you will learn:

  • How to use templates and textures to create your own design
  • How to handle, condition, blend and shape your metal clays into your design
