Student Comments for the Silver Metal Clay Diploma Grade 1, formerly Beginners PMC Diploma Course

I was a PMC virgin, and it was quite daunting being back in the classroom, but I was made to feel comfortable and encouraged enthusiastically to develop my skills. Outstanding.

I found the class warm and friendly, very motivating. The lessons were clear, the tutor repeated health and safety issues and gave us lots of help with the subjects that were covered. I will definitely return to Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery. Many thanks.

If you are a beginner, self taught or just a bit unsure about the whole PMC revolution this course is perfect, even if it covers bits and bobs that you know. It's worth it for the abundance of knowledge and 'top tips' you will learn.
