Jeanette began working with Precious Metal Clay in 1999 and immediately became intrigued.  Since then she has worked extensively with the medium and it has become her main focus.  She is a one person studio, and makes her pieces by hand.  Jeanette is a Senior PMC Instructor and teaches classes and workshops.

"Working with PMC is a wonderful, creative outlet for me.  It challenges me to stretch my ideas, which causes me to constantly incorporate new methods and techniques.  I get my inspiration from everywhere, but my favorite is nature".

She has over 35 years experience as a seamstress and dressmaker (once owning her own business), and has a BA in Interior Design.  Her hobbies include photography, knitting, cross-stitching, and working puzzles.
