Biography:
My first class in ACS was in 2002, just prior to my retirement in the same year.  I instantly fell in love with ACS.  I ordered my kiln in the second class and my passion for metal clay took off.  I took every class possible, read every book and article that I found.  In October 2003, I took the Level One Certification and the following month certified in PMC.  I felt any knowledge I obtained in metal clay would make me a better artist.  In 2004, I continued to expand my knowledge by taking class from Carl Stanley and attending the PMC convention.  While at the convention, I had the opportunity to take the Level One and Two courses in PMC.  In 2005, I finally achieved my Senior Level Certification in Art Clay.  My first love will always be Art Clay Silver, but I think it's important to know what the other guy (PMC) is doing, and apply the techniques learned to Art Clay.
