Pam’s first book “Enameling on Metal Clay”, was published in 2007, and she was a contributing author for Metal Clay & Color published in 2012. She has written numerous articles for magazines like Art Jewelry Magazine, Metal Clay Artist Magazine, Lapidary Journal, Glass-on-Metal, and Step-by-Step Beads. In 2013 Pam launched a highly successful Kickstarter campaign to produce two instructional DVDs. The DVD sets, Enamelling on Copper Clay and Enamelling on Silver Clay, were released in 2014.
Pam has been an invited speaker, giving classes and lectures at such gatherings as the Metal Clay World Conference, The Pan-European Metal Clay Conference and the Enamellist Society Biennial Conference.
Pam says “My philosophy can probably best be summed up by Share the Joy. I love working with Art Clay Silver and Enamels, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than sharing my enthusiasm with my students. Fun, I have found, is contagious. In my teaching, articles, and appearances, I have always worked towards making these art forms as accessible as possible to a wide audience. Even while maintaining a high standard of excellence, making beautiful jewellery need not be difficult or expensive.” Born and raised in Southern California, Pam now resides in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, daughter, and Porsche the wonder dog.
