Jean Storm, an accomplished Texas jewelry designer, will introduce artist to the endless potential for creativity when using Precious Silver Clay. Precious metal clay (or PMC) is just what it sounds like: fine silver or gold ground extremely small and suspended in a binder to create clay. Just like what you played with as a kid. For novice jewelry makers, learning to create with precious metal clay is easy. For jewelry makers of any experience level, working with this material takes little time. It also requires little space in your workshop.

An invitation to make Angel Pins with a friend opened my eyes to the world of jewelry design. My early retirement in 1996 gave me the opportunity to begin a new path in life as a Studio Jeweler.

I was self taught for the first 5 years and then began to take classes at the Craft Guild of Dallas. For the past 12 years, I have continually taken classes in beading design, forging, chainmaille, stone setting, fabrication, Art Clay and anticlastic forming.

There is always something new to learn and another genre to explore!
