PMC II - Bird's Next Sculpture by Mary Ann and Ken Devos

Mary Ann and Ken have been involved in the creation of art and craft items for more than 30 years. They have worked in many media, mostly three-dimensional. Mary Ann has been a potter and has been as a studio jeweler since 1996. She has worked almost exclusively with silver clay. Mary Ann has trained in Japan in the use of silver clay and is a Master Instructor for silver clay in the U.S. As Director of Education for PMC Connection, she has written the core curriculum for their Certification program. Ken concentrates on making chains and the use of silver clay for the creation of jewelry. Both Mary Ann and Ken have taught jewelry design and creation around the U.S., as well as in Canada, Europe, South Africa, Australia and Japan. Their first book, Introduction to Precious Metal Clay, was published in 2002 by Wardell Publications. Their second book, Precious Metal Clay in Mixed Media, was released in 2004. Both are in their third printing. Their third book, Exceptional Works in Metal Clay and Glass, was released in 2008. Mary Ann and Ken believe in making an effort toward continual growth through education. Questions about their class may be e-mailed to them at pmcconnection@aol.com.

CLASS DESCRIPTION

PMC Level I

Join Mary Ann and Ken for a full week of PMC excitement. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS CLASS HAS BEEN OFFERED AT THIS LOCATION. The PMC Connection Certification Level 3 is a new class. It presents advanced techniques using the 3 types of PMC 3 (clay type, paste and syringe). The workshop is open to those who have completed Level 2 Certification in PMC or Art Clay Silver. The class takes the student beyond the projects of Levels 1 and 2 to even more complex projects. The goal of the class is to make the student comfortable with advanced silver clay techniques for making, firing and finishing, using just 2 projects. As with the prior classes, the techniques are very specific but the students are encouraged to explore personal creativity in their designs. This more advanced understanding of PMC will offer an expanded base for the student to use PMC more extensively. We encourage students who successfully complete the course to teach general PMC classes, demonstrate and share this new experience.

LAB FEE: Class kits contain all of the PMC supplies and hand tools needed to complete this workshop. The cost is approximately $225.00

Maximum No. of Students: 12

Pre-requisite: completion of Certification Level 1 and Level 2
