Pam East is an internationally known artist, writer, and teacher. She has been an enamelist since 1997 and was named a Master Instructor by Art Clay World, USA, in 2005. Over the years, Pam has appeared on the highly acclaimed Carol Duvall Show on HGTV and on Jewelry Making on the DIY Network.

In 2024, Pam was honored with the Lis-el Crowly Vision Award. Each year, this award is given to one individual who exemplifies the spirit of generosity, advances metal clay artistry, supports the metal clay community, and serves as an ambassador for metal clay to the broader public.

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 such magazines as 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 Enameling on Copper Clay and Enameling 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 enjoy nothing 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 accessible to a wide audience. Even while maintaining a high standard of excellence, making beautiful jewelry need not be difficult or expensive.”

Born and raised in Southern California, Pam now lives in Washington with her husband, daughter, and Porsche, the wonder dog.
