Class Schedule!

Thank you so much to all of our loyal and conscientious clients who have noted that there are no classes listed for Sherry on the website.  She has stepped back into her studio and is in the process of developing some new and exciting classes.  Look for the new offerings to begin in January 2010.  We will announce dates and locations at least three months ahead.

Education!!

We at PMC123.com think that education is the most important tool for working with metal clay. To that end we would like to invite everyone who has a website that features classes in metal clay to “trade” links with us. In an effort to announce classes coast-to-coast and around the world we will include each and every person who participates with us in our “Introducing….” column.  We would like to “introduce” up to four websites in each issue of “The Latest and Greatest from….PMC123.” We realize that some of us sell the same products, tools and equipment, at various prices. But education is still the most important tool for metal clay artisans. Please consider sending us your URL for inclusion on our links area and including ours on yours.

In the meantime, check out all of the sites that have responded to our offer here.  Who knows, there may be classes right in your own backyard!!

Next up are our 5-pc Toothpick Files. These files will get into the tiniest space or tightest corner. And you can use them wet or dry. (TIP: I stripped off the dipped red handle with an exacto knife. Now I can put them into my pin vice when I use them so I have a great handle!) The set of five stainless steel diamond files come in their own travel case. The set includes flat, half-round, triangle, square and round files. Each file is 80mm long with a dipped red handle. They are on special this month! Order yours today!

Are you looking for that elusive, beautiful, high-polished surface? Or just want to soften sharp edges? PMC123 introduces a handy, studio-in-a-shoebox-sized Set of 5 Sanding/finishing Pads. This set starts with Medium (120-180 grit), moves through Fine (320-400 grit), Super fine (500-600 grit), Ultra fine (800-1000 grit), and finishes your piece to a mirror polish with Micro fine (1200-1500 grit). By using the whole set from 1 up through 5 in the green ware stage you can go from the kiln to the tumbler for a perfect mirror finish! Keep your set in tip-top condition (AND reclaim PMC) by brushing each pad with a dry toothbrush after each use. These 3M pads can be washed and will last and last. Each pad is numbered so you’ll always grab the right one for the right job!
