Come learn the basics of using polymer clay to make beads, earrings, and pendants! Join Jayce for an intro level class that will go over how to incorporate heat-safe materials with Sculpey and transform both into jewelry of your very own design.
Techniques covered will be creating faux marble and stone effects, bead making, incorporating metal findings and chain, using simple hand tools such as coping saws and dremel tools, using basic adhesives, and how to sand and finish a piece.
This class is for kids 14+ and adults. Adults who wish to bring children under 14 must help and supervise children using hand tools. Safety glasses and earplugs will be provided.
