I have lived in Devon all my life and love it here! I have been making and selling jewellery for about fifthteen years on and off.  I took a silversmithing course at Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery last year as I wanted to be able to make my own findings for a more professional look.  There I came across silver clay (precious metal clay, pmc, artclay - there are lots of versions) which is fanastic.  You can do so much with it, even as a complete beginner.  I then completed my Diploma in PMC Proficiency level 1 to 4 with teaching, and now I am offering beginners workshops for small groups at home.  I also teach pmc at a local precious stone and bead shop in Sidmouth, Devon. www.semipreciousbeads.co.uk
