I am Pat Sharma - MCSJ Diploma in PMC, founder of Croydon Jewellery School and PMC tutor.

I manage a Business Centre and the Croydon Jewellery School as well as setting up a new on-line retail jewellery store called Theia Jewellery for those people who would rather buy than make. 

After a great 25 year career in Royal Mail Group I have experience in a huge number of fields from Philately, Managing Branch Post Offices, managing people, training and development to working in HQ Bulk Mail, Marketing, Project and Product management and Advertising. 

My ambition to run my own business and teach has always been my ultimate goal. 

I like to simplify instructions, no complications or technical stuff...Life's too short so I like to get to the point.

I completed my Diploma in PMC on 30th August 2009 from the Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery - considered to be the most thorough training in the world.

After completing my City & Guilds level 2 in Design, Craft and Silversmithing, I found that there were a lack of local silver jewellery making classes. This inspired me to seek expertise in Precious Metal Clay. 

Studying PMC to Diploma level meant long travels to Mid Cornwall School of Jewellery in order to learn PMC techniques and how to make jewellery from this amazing product to very high standards.

I want to make it possible for local people, especially young girls and boys an opportunity to learn to use PMC and to enjoy making unique silver items.
