PMC and Polymer Clay Spear Pendant

Discover one of the newest innovative jewelry mediums, precious metal clay (PMC). This material feels like clay, is pliable, can be shaped and textured like clay, but when kiln fired, results in fine silver. (Sterling silver is usually 92.5%. Precious metal clay is 99% pure silver). We will create a PMC bead cap with bail permanently attached to a polymer clay spear that you will create using a polymer clay jellyroll technique.

Photo Charms and Pendant

Create your very own photo or artwork keepsake Microscope Slide Glass Soldiered Pendant/Charm. Learn how to solder, cut glass, use copper tape and do a little wire work. Students complete one double-sided pendant or charm in class. NO art or soldering experience required. Instructions to students: Please bring TWO special small photos or two -dimensional ephemera that measure no bigger than 1 inch by 1 inch. Completed pendants/charms are two sided so you need two images to include in your project. Examples of things that can be put in pendants: pictures of your kids or pets, paper of any kind, real lace, and pieces of original artwork- anything that is flat and thin. The two pieces of art or photos should not be thicker than 1/16th inch when sandwiched back to back. Some pieces of original art made by Vickie Porter will be available if you don't have the right size photos. Please note: We can't use older photos that were developed from film as the paper does not tolerate the heat of soldering. Make a print copy of older photos or bring digitally printed images. If you have a bone folder, please bring one. Available at craft stores.No art experience required. Everyone can do this! [Photos by Teri Fiske at Pumpkin Patch Photos]
