Private Lessons:
I am available for private one-on-one classes in Silver Clay, stringing and most Off-Loom Beading

please use my Contact page to let me know what you're interested in and what days are most convenient

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 13 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.
