(You will need a piece of flatware/serving piece to be decorated).

These polymer clay classes will focus on utilizing the unique attributes of this brightly colored home-baked clay to create one-of-a-kind miniature pieces of art that can be both functional (e.g., as toys or jewelry) and beautiful!

In this series of 1.5 hour online workshops, we will work with students to build techniques to create things from life and imagination in 3-D. We will be using Zoom to meet with students and share our energy and knowledge about utilizing this colorful bake-at-home clay.  Each 1.5 hour workshop is $20.00.

These clay classes will be offered online, so students will need a phone, computer, or ipad with a camera and a small space to work at home. Students will also need aluminum foil to cover their work space, and will need to purchase their own supplies. These can be purchased on Amazon or at a Michaels store, which is now offering curbside pick-up. Here are links to these items on Amazon:
