About My Art
Publications

I enjoy sharing what I know about Precious Metal Clay and related techniques. I'm hoping by sharing that knowledge, I can help others to enjoy working with Precious Metal Clay (PMC) as much as I do. Here are some of the articles that I have written and some of the publications that have been kind enough to include my jewelry.

Books:
Picture Yourself Making Metal Clay Jewelry
by Tammy Powley. Featured in the “Gallery” pages 215 - 216.
Released May 2008. Picture Yourself Creating Metal Clay Jewelry is a book with projects, tips and techniques for low fire clay. That means no expensive kiln needed! It allows the newbie to make finished jewelry and it also has several projects for the more advanced. Included is a bonus DVD. Thanks Tammy for including my work.

PMC Guild Annual, Volume 1, a book by Jeanette Landernwitch and et. al
Released October 2007, Page 20, 36, 89, Back Cover.
PMC Guild Annual, Volume 1 is an annual showcase of exceptional work in PMC. Artists from around the world were invited with over 1000 submissions. Of those only 56 artists were selected and I was thrilled to be one of them.

Metal Clay Jewelry, a book by Louise Duhamel
Featured in the Gallery is a titanium and Precious Metal Clay pendant, September 2006. Metal Clay Jewelry is an excellent "How to" book with innovative projects and techniques. Louise put together a great set of diverse projects and I was certainly proud to be selected for her gallery section.
