Christine,

    There are a couple of tangible differences between the two, but more
    things are similar than different. Both are 99.9% silver in clay
    form. Both can be fired with torches or in kilns or with the
    "hotbox". In addition, Art Clay has a couple of other varieties of
    clay that PMC does not, including Slow Dry, which dries 5 times more
    slowly, for extruding and detailed work; Art Clay 650 low fire, which
    fires at 1200 degrees F., good for glass and firing with sterling;
    650 Overlay paste, which is formulated to fire on porcelain and
    ceramics; oil paste, which was originally intended for repairs, but
    is recently being replaced by the Overlay paste. Our Paper Type,
    which is like PMC's Sheet type, is 10 grams and thicker than PMC's. 

    Our educational systems are a bit different and our discounts are
    different. 

    Why would you choose one over the other? Pepsi and Coke. I'm biased,
    so I can't offer an objective opinion. However, I CAN say that it's
    worth looking at both. Look at the pricing, how it does what you need
    it to do, how you can use it, customer service and discounts. An
    informed choice is the best choice. Ain't a free capital system
    great?
