Introduction to Precious Metal Clay
Create with this Fine Silver or Gold Jewelry Material
PMC is one of the most remarkable material developments in recent history and Mary Ann Devos has lead the way working with this exceptional material since 1996.
by Mary Ann Devos
Precious Metal Clay (“PMC”) is one of the most remarkable developments in silver and gold metal working. This product is available in fine silver (0.999%) and 24K gold. It is composed of microscopic metal particles, a non-toxic organic binder and water. It looks, feels and is shaped just like potter’s clay but after firing all that is left is solid precious metal.
Mary Ann’s friendly and easy to understand teaching style is presented in this step-by-step book to guide crafters through the process of hand-forming this remarkable clay material to create distinctive silver and gold jewelry in these 18 projects.
The precious metal clay fabrication process requires much less equipment and training than traditional metal work, making it easily accessible to artists, hobby-crafters, and fine jewelers. PMC can be combined with many materials such as semi-precious gems, glass, porcelain and ceramics.
