Looking good Cody. While you may like the matte finish, you might also start looking into some polishing equipment. PMC can take on a nice shine when sanded and buffed.
Most of the clays have to be kiln fired, be sure to read your instruction sheet. The PMC+ can be fired with a torch, the instruction sheet will tell you how long to heat it and the color to heat it to.
I torch fire with a little creme brulee-type butane torch or fire larger pieces open-shelf (without carbon) in an Evenheat Studio Pro STP from Clay-King: Evenheat Studio Pro STP PMC Kiln for Fired Projects - Clay-King.com
(I like my windowed version to oversee the action)
