Private Lessons:
I am available for private one-on-one classes in Silver Clay and most Off-Loom Beading techniques
(right-angle weave, peyote, brick, etc.) at a cost of $25 per hour plus materials. If interested, please use
my Contact page to let me know what you're interested in and what days are most convenient for you.
Class notes:
I will send directions to my studio upon registration.
I will also send a list of optional materials that you may want to bring to class. There are no required
materials unless otherwise noted in class description.
When "ordering" a class, my system will indicate a shipping charge. No shipping charge will be charged.
In fact, your credit card will not be charged until the day of class in case you want to pay by check. You
must use this online system to reserve your spot, however.
Instructor Qualifications:
I have been beading and making jewelry of all types for over 10 years.
I am a Precious Metal Clay Level II Certified Designer/Artisan/Instructor. I've completed 48 hours
of intensive training through PMC Connection. I'm also a member of the PMC Guild, an
organization for artists who use and support PMC, and a member of the SFBAY Silver Clay Guild.
The PMC Guild's Certification Program is to PMC what the black belt is to judo; the official mark
of a serious, dedicated, and well-trained enthusiast. PMC Guild-sponsored classes ensure a
standardized level of excellence...Students of Guild-Certified teachers are assured of receiving the
highest-quality instruction.
What is PMC? PMC stands for
Precious Metal Clay and is a relatively
new material still being explored by
artists. It was invented by the
Mitsubishi Materials Corp in the early
1990s. It is precious metal combined
with a rice binder. When PMC Silver
is fired the binder burns off and
you're left with 99.9% fine silver.
