Sally always had a creative spirit. She has worked extensively in various mediums including porcelain and ceramics as well as exploring textiles by creating beautiful counted cross stitch pieces. Her level of expertise allowed her to be certified to teach porcelain art (china painting) as well as instructing classes in ceramics. Several years ago her interests turned to warm glass (fusing). She traveled to Virginia where she studied advanced fusing techniques at Vitrum Studios. PMC (Precious Metal Clay) was in its infancy and Sally fell in love with the medium and the possibilities of combining it with her warm glass to create beautiful and unusual pieces of jewelry. She received her level I and II PMC certifications in Chicago, which encouraged her passion for the beauty of these two mediums to become a business. Sally continues to expand her knowledge of Precious Metal Clay by attending classes, conferences, and meetings with other members of the PMC Guild. She loves to experiment by combining the PMC with Polymer Clay Canes, Dichroic glass, or enamels. Sally currently creates her pieces in a studio attached to her home on Kelleys Island where she also has the opportunity to photograph the beautiful sunrises from her living room overlooking beautiful Lake Erie. Sally is available by appointment for an informal showing of her pieces at her studio. About PMC PMC (Precious Metal Clay) is silver granules held together with a bonding agent. It feels similar to regular clay. Once shaped, textured, dried, sanded, and finished, it is put into a kiln and fired from 1110 to 1650 degrees F. In the firing process the bonding agent burns off leaving a piece of silver that is .999 pure. This is called "Fine Silver". |
