  • The Journal of the International PMC Guild Mitsubishi
    fusion seventeen 17 fusion 2011 /3 The Journal of the International PMC Guild Mitsubishi Materials, which manufactures PMC, recently sponsored the largest sur- vey of the metal clay community, and the results are in. In this issue of Fusion, we present and analyze the results. But first, it’s important to under- stand the scope of the survey. In an at- tempt to be as comprehensive and com- plete as possible, Mitsubishi enlisted the help of many organizations and individuals to distribute the survey, including retailers involved in the sale and promotion of metal clay, as well as advocacy and member groups, such as the PMC Guild, and others. Their efforts proved enormously successful. More than 2,400 individuals responded to the survey, which represents 10–15% of the metal clay community in North America. While that percentage may appear small, it’s actually quite large, and offers Mitsubishi a rare opportunity to glean significant data from the results. By and large, the survey confirmed what the PMC Guild has known, or believed, for many years. This data offer proof, said Tim McCreight, Communications Director for the Guild. “The survey confirmed my sense of the community. My understand- ing of the demographic — the age, education, gender, and so on — is what we found to be the case. There is value in knowing this, particularly for people who have not been involved in the metal clay community as deeply as some of us have,” he said. “The very fact of the high response rate is again something I predicted but a fact that should grab the atten- tion of vendors, manufacturers, and publishers.
