This certification is intended for the experienced PMC enthusiast who seeks the recognition that a standardized level of expertise offers. Students should have considerable working experience with the products and should be comfortable with techniques such as joining, slip joining, hollow forms, ring construction, rolling out equal thicknesses of clay, stamping textures and working with two- and three-dimensional forms.

Taught by world-class instructor,Patrik Kusek, the curriculum is demanding and tests specific skills and techniques (apart from artistry) for working with PMC over the course of three days. Students who complete certification leave the class equipped with advanced skills and knowledge, prepared to teach PMC classes and to incorporate PMC into their own work.

Tools and PMC will be provided in the class - along with finishing and mold-making materials. Students do not need to bring anything but are welcome to bring personal tools they may want to use.

And, simply by attending the class, you become enrolled in Rio Rewards®, a special purchasing program through which members receive discounts on PMC and PMC-related products. (visit: www.riorewards.com for details) Cost: $425. To register call 866-346-2698 or email: education@riogrande.com
