Customer Reviews

If you want to work with PMC,this book is a "must have !"
If you have already discovered the magical precious metal clay,or want to learn more about it,this is a brilliant book for ideas. Whilst Tim McCreight's book on working with PMC,is a great place to start,this book will give the reader a whole spectrum of project ideas.
I have now become a certified PMC instructor,and my students are also enjoying the wealth of ideas,clearly photographed and explained,within the pages of this book.
Anyone who buys this book will not be disappointed,it's a great addition to any enthusiast's library. Buy it!

Superb Inspiration
A book full of great ideas, but more so is the way it takes the reader through the PMC concept stage by stage. Then it lets you deside and try projects giving stage by stage comments. I cannot recommend this book high enough.

Bleargh.
Unless you really like PMC, then don't buy this. It's 'pasty', 'doughy' looking work featured here, nothing to make me want to spend 3 times more cash on this material compared to standard silver. The usual explanations on how to do it etc are all here though.
