About

PMC is made up of fine metal particles, an organic binder, and water. Working with PMC is similar to playing with PlayDoh as it can be rolled, shaped, textured, molded, and carved to your imagination's delight. Pieces are fired in a kiln, which burns off the binder and melts the particles together into a solid metal finished work of art. 

Gain the confidence, with this class, to work with more expensive alloys and explore the almost infinite creative options available through this medium. Come play with clay and revisit a childhood pleasure!
