One on One Jewellery Classes
~ just for you alone ~
If you are dying to get into PMC and none of the workshop dates on the calendar work for you, send me an email and we will work out a one day - 1 to 1 class for just for you.
We can even discuss if there's something special you want to learn (within your skill limits of course) and we will work out a plan together so you can learn what is important to you.
The typical PMC Basic Skills class, for instance, takes 2 days in a group class, but can easily be done, usually with time to spare, in a one day private class. (read what some of my students said here)
Because there's no waiting around to start the next project because of other students, who might be slower, or waiting to use tools etc. people usually make the same number of projects in one day in a private class, than in the 2 day weekend workshop, and sometimes even more! This makes it a very time effective way to learn at nearly the same price.
1-1 classes run a little longer than the normal workshops, they start at 9 am and end when you are finished (or 4.30 pm, whichever comes first:)
Cost for one day is: $250.00 plus materials.

And a little bit about me.......
Hi, my name is Maggie Bergman. I am a jewellery artist, working in PMC & traditional silver & mixed media jewellery.
I am a Registered PMC & Artclay Silver Senior Teacher and a PMC Master Level 1
I teach regular PMC & silver jewellery classes at my studio in Nerang, on the northern end of the Gold Coast.
When Artclay Silver first came to Australia I was one of the first group of people to get certified as a teacher of this very exciting material.
My background in pottery & traditional silver jewellery classes, really made me appreciate the fantastic possibilities of PMC.
The speed of making a piece of 3D jewellery really appealed to me. I love to dream up a design and make it quickly before life interferes.
I like to mix other materials in my jewellery, combining PMC with sterling silver, copper, titanium, glass, plastics & resin.... the list goes on and the possibilities are endless!
In January 2007 I was invited to become an advisor to the Masters Registry. This is the most stimulating program I have ever been involved with. It resulted in exciting new directions for my work. In 2008 I attained my Reg. level I, one of the first 3 people in the world.
I am working toward the Masters Reg. Level II now, it is a very exciting program and I am enjoying the challenge.
For the last 6 years I have been passing on my skills, both in PMC & metalwork, to my students in Queensland & Victoria. The classes are project based and cater for beginners, taking them up to Intermediate and Advanced skill levels.
For a list of current workshops offered see the workshop page for all my classes. They are now held at Nerang, on the Northern end of the Gold Coast |
