PMC Master Class: RIngs. July 20 from 12:00-5:00
In this exciting class for those that have taken both beginner and intermediate PMC, you will make two rings, which may include a small stone (provided by instructor). Prior to attending class, you will need to order and bring to class: 1 sterling ring core for your size from Cooltools.us (approx. $15). The grooved core is highly recommended, as it gives the slip something to hold on to more readily. https://cooltools.us/products/sterling-silver-ring-core-slotted-half-whole-sizes?_pos=1&_sid=e16b11024&_ss=r The second ring will be made of pure PMC. We will be using a mandrel to form to the size, and learning how to calculate for some shrinkage. A metal clay ring sizer (about $7) is available from Cool Tools, in packs of three, and comes in sizes to accommodate your PMC ring. This helps to prevent shrinkage when firing and will help the ring hold it’s shape.https://cooltools.us/products/cool-tools-metal-clay-ring-sizers?_pos=1&_sid=a226cfa19&_ss=r&variant=4151
