Hello Hema,

    I'm encouraging you to do a little reading about PMC.  The website
    http://www.pmclay.com, has a great summary of  techniques and
    answers to common questions in "Getting Started". There are even
    some video clips of basic techniques.  Don't miss a page in the
    website.  Many of your questions will be answered, including who the
    international suppliers are. 

    Tim McCreight's book "Working with PMC" is a great resource as well
    - easy to read and instructions for some nice projects.  You don't
    really NEED a formal class to get started.  After all until it's
    fired, with the metal clay you can simply roll it up and start over
    if you are unhappy with something.  If you don't have a kiln, use
    the PMC3 that can be torch fired.  This is really cool - if you want
    to add to a fired piece,  you can do so and re-fire to affix the
    additional bit.  It IS  more expensive than working with fine silver
    sheet or wire - but there are many possibilities. 

Can you do it?? Yes you can!!
Judy in Kansas
