This is an announcement of the second in a series of PMC workshops here =
at Living Tree Pottery. For those of you not familiar with PMC, it is a =
clay-like substance formed from a mixture of fine silver powder and =
organic binder. When fired, the binder burns out leaving 0.999 fine =
silver behind. :) We had a workshop with this material earlier this =
summer and it was EXTREMELY fun! =20
The next workshop on September 6 & 7 will continue the fun by adding =
Dichroic Glass to the mix. We'll be making pendants using PMC and =
adding Dichroic glass to them. They're fired together at the same time, =
so the PMC holds the glass in place. =20
What is dichroic glass? It is a kiln-formed glass with at least two =
colors and usually some foil or silvery stuff inside. VERY pretty. You =
will be able to choose your own glass pieces to work with, and they will =
cost between 6 and 10 dollars each, depending on size.
This will be a two day workshop because of the way the pieces have to be =
fired. On the first day (Saturday morning 9/6, 9:30 - 12:30), we'll =
form our pieces and set them to dry, and they'll be fired in the =
afternoon. On the second day, (Sunday afternoon 9/7, 2-4pm) we'll =
polish and finish the pieces. You'll leave with at least one beautiful =
pendant, ready to wear.
Cost for the workshop is $60 which includes 1 pkg PMC and 1/4 jar of =
paste and 1 CZ. Cost of glass (which you will choose on site) is extra, =
and will range from about $6 to $10 depending on the size of the piece.
To register, go to http://www.living-tree.net/schedule.htm and look for =
the PMC/DICHROIC workshop. :)
