My work has been included in the first two PMC Annuals published by the PMC Guild and various other publications as well, including "Metal Clay Beads" written by Barbara Becker Simon, Lark Books, 2009 and Sherri Haab's revised and expanded edition of "The Art of Metal Clay", Watson-Guptill, 2010. Update: I was published in the most recent PMC Guild Annual, October 2011.
I'm also a mixed media artist and have recently been published in 1000 Artist Journal Pages, 2008 and Collaborative Art Journals, 2009.
I taught Silver Clay classes yearly for the past three years at a big mixed media art retreat called Artfest, in Port Townsend, Washington. I also teach private classes and am always on the lookout for classes I would like to take to add to my skills and keep my designs interesting for me.

"Behind the Brooch"
I have always thought that the back of a jewelry piece is as important as the front. If you feel the same way, consider sending images of the front and backside of your brooches to Lorena Angulo asap. Lorena is looking for images to place in a future crafthaus online exhibition!
