I just spent three intense full days (plus 2 hours driving to/from each day), taking a PMC (Precious Metal Clay- Fine silver & gold) certification course. I would have preferred a regular class without a certification but I was not able to locate one close to home. I was concerned that my skill level might not be high enough to jump into a course that certifies the student as an instructor. The course is very intense and very specific. But I gathered up all my courage, took the risk, took the course and.....YES! I passed!! I don't have any plans to teach, but the amazing amount of information I learned was worth every minute and every $ I spent on the course. My instructor, Terry, has been working with PMC for 10 years and all I can say is the work he does is mind boggling, incredibly intricate and with detail that I have never seen in any silver jewelry. He is the most creative person I have ever met and a fabulous instructor as well. Now to head down yet another road in my journey as a jewelry artisan.....
