Customer Reviews

Superb in its Simplicity
Another wonderful book from Tim McCreight, who has edited this collection of techniques for PMC by assembling a veritable stable of stars. These brilliant artisans share their specific forte and we are definitely the richer and wiser as we work through their lovely projects.

The 10 artists cover : Syringe by Tonya Davidson, Hinges with Celie Fago, Bezels by Jennifer Kahn, Fusing Sterling and PMC by Doris King, Terry Kovalcik looks at Developing Form with Slip and the amazing Noortje Meijerink takes us on a PMC and Ceramic journey. Kelly Russell looks at using Stencils while Barabara Becker Simon merges Lampworking and PMC with a flair all of her own, add CeCe Wires Water Etching and J.Fred Woell's gorgeous Coreless Beads and I doubt that this book would not have something for everyone.

This book is not for a beginner, but you will certainly aspire to recreate the projects, beautiful each and every one of them. Lovely hand drawn pencil illustrations of both the steps and techniques compliment a rich gallery of colour photographs. The techniques are covered in detail - up to 20 pages, so you are left in no doubt how to create.

This book clearly states PMC and in fact exclusively uses this product throughout, however, the ideas are transferrable accross the Metal Clay's. Thank you for another wonderful book which I am sure will be read and re-read many times.

Learn advanced metal clay techniques from the artists who developed them!
Less than a year after publishing PMC Decade, a wonderful volume of essays and lavish photographs showcasing extraordinary metal clay art and artists from the past 10 years, Tim McCreight's Brynmorgen Press has brought us the highly anticipated PMC Technic: A Collection of Techniques for Precious Metal Clay.

PMC Technic consists of ten chapters, each written by a different well-known artist about an advanced metal clay technique that he or she developed, refined/advanced, or adapted for metal clay.

Every chapter contains a wealth of valuable and detailed information about a specific technique. Tim McCreight's clear, hand-drawn illustrations provide a welcome complement to the written descriptions and instructions. Many sumptuous, high-quality photographs show inspirational examples of finished pieces incorporating each technique.

I am very fortunate to have received my PMC Certification instruction from two of artists in this important book, and to have benefited from the wise and generous advice of several of its other authors. I can attest personally to their extraordinary expertise and teaching abilities, and I recommend this book enthusiastically as required reading for any serious metal clay artist.

very good.
This is a very good pmc lesson guide. There are different chapters with different lessons from each guest teacher. Each lesson is valuable and insightful into the particular techniques employed by the likes of kelly russel, celie fago, jen kahn and fred woell - amoung others. Beautiful photography of work and handy sketches provide more detailed examples of a process etc. I own every metal clay book ever writeen! Including any foreign ones and this is very good. I've written a more detailed review on amazon.co.uk and the book Pmc techniques with a blue cover is the same as pmc technic! very good book and intermediate/advanced - finally! There are masses of beginner pmc books out there, so this was appreciated by me.
