About this Event
Class Description
Students will learn essential techniques for conditioning, shaping, color mixing, texturing, and assembling polymer clay pieces. Each participant can explore their own colors and designs to create personalized jewelry and accessories such as earrings, pendants, charms, keychains, or bag charms.
We’ll also cover the basics of baking and finishing polymer clay for durable, wearable results. All materials and tools needed for the class will be provided.
