Metal Clay: we will be using a minimum of 25 grams of PMC3 Fine Silver (current price about $50). It can be purchased at www.pmcconnection.com or at www.cooltools.us. I will also have some for sale in class. We will also use sterling clay to make a ring or cuff for our last project. I will take orders for sterling clay at the 2^nd class. Please let me know via email if you prefer to purchase clay in class at least 2 weeks in advance of our first class so I can have enough for everyone. Email address: barbara.rivolta@gmail.com
