PMC Conference 2010

Plans are underway for the next PMC Conference which will be held in July, 2010. This will be the fifth biennial conference, the major gathering of metal clay artists from around the world. Organizers are now seeking presenters to share information with the community. Details are available in this
Call for Proposals.

As part of its commitment to its members, the PMC Guild publishes a full size book each year featuring highlights of work made around the world. The PMC Guild Annual is given to all members in the early autumn as part of their regular membership benefits.

Once again this year the metal clay community has risen to the challenge of participating in the Guild's annual juried publication. A total of 456 images were reviewed by a four-member panel to select the 109 photos that will appear in the book. Participants come from eight countries and 25 states in the US.

Thanks to all the talented artists who submitted work and whose commitment to metal clay continues to raise the bar. And special thanks to the jurors: Linda Kaye-Moses, Catherine Davies-Paetz, Bill Griffith, and Terry Kovalcik for their diligent work. The book is being printed now and will be sent to all Guild members in the autumn. As with the previous Annuals, this book will be available through jewelry supply companies and booksellers.

Congratulations to this year's selected artists:
