PMC or Precious Metal Clay

PMC Gallery

What is PMC ? Precious Metal Clay is a revolutionary material developed and patented
by Mitsubishi Materials of Japan. Tiny particles of pure silver or gold are suspended in an
organic binder to create a material that can be worked like modeling clay. Pieces are fired
in a kiln 900C(1750F) to burn off the binder and fuse the metal. The result is a solid, 100%
pure silver or gold object.

I started working with PMC in 2003 after winning the Saul Bell awards. I used my prize money to
buy a kiln and some clay. Its challenging working in a new medium and I love making my own
metal components to work into my beadwork. Click on any picture to see detail. Fell Free to email
