Hi Stell,
Sorry it took me so long to respond to your comment. I don’t teach any classes myself, but I have taken quite a few and they always help in gaining technical knowledge and seeing how someone else works with PMC. If you can afford it, you could look into taking one of the Rio Rewards certification classes. The certificate class is a good way to learn some basics from Rio- approved teachers who have been working for a long time with PMC. You also get a discount on PMC and related supplies. Here’s more info about it and a schedule of classes, from their web site: http://www.riorewards.com/schedule.asp If you live in Maine there’s a good chance to take a class from Tim McCreight in Scarboro. I hope this gives you an idea.
Good luck. I love working with PMC. (I don’t love what the price of silver is doing.)
xoxo Barb

Hi there
I recently discovered precious metal clay. I have also always wanted to work with silver. Do you give classes? If not, do you know who does? (besides in Connecticut?)
Many thanks
Stell

So, I just delayed my work of adding some new pieces to my Etsy shop, thanks to your honest and hilarious blog. I’ve been reading it for the last half hour. I believe you would be a survivor of anything with a sense of humor like that. Though, what you have been going through is no laughing matter. I’m so glad you left a reply on my blog, so I could find my way to yours. Thank you!

Just checked out your etsy shop and love your jewelry! The textures really speak to me. I’m going to treat myself, since I’m gearing up for reconstruction surgery after a long summer battling breast cancer; just have to decide which piece I love the most! Congrats on Freshly Pressed; I’m brand new to the blogging world and love seeing the variety of blogs out there.

Hey Spmort!
I just sent you an e-mail, telling you about the blog, but you already found it! Cool. Some family pics coming up soon I hope.
Are your kids all grown up? Mine are!

Neat stuff!!!! I especially like the necklaces with Island stones and white or silver pearls. I made a few lost wax gold things in dental school and it was fun. I will be in touch old friend. Eric

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for checking out my work. Yes I will be at the fair tomorrow and Saturday at Atlantic Oaks. I will have lots of earrings there. Hope you stop by! Alone Moose Gallery is only open from June through October. The only place I have work at this time of year is at Archipelago gallery in Rockland. But keep checking this site this winter. I plan to have an Etsy shop up and running and you will be able to link to it from this site.

Dear Barbara,
I like your work and want to see it in person.
I was wondering if you will be at the Craft fair tomorrow at Atlantic Oaks or nearby in the weeks ahead.
I would like to look at your earrings. When is Alone Moose Gallery open?
Thanks, Jonathan
