Intro to Polymer Clay Jewelry Making: Design Your Own Earrings
Monday, October 21st @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
$54
In this class, instructor Sophie Wertz will introduce you to the colorful, creative world of polymer clay jewelry making, where you’ll custom design your own unique sets of earrings! Polymer clay has exploded in popularity as a medium for DIY jewelry making, and for good reason. It’s lightweight, offers all the vibrant colors, and once you’ve mastered a few key sculpting techniques, can easily be shaped into so many fun designs and forms!
To begin, you’ll get to know the polymer clay medium through a series of short lessons on color mixing and clay handling. Sophie will teach you popular techniques like marbling, crafting delicate miniature florals, and working with carving and modeling tools. You’ll have access to an array of cutters and textured rollers to create your own earring shapes. You will learn how to prepare clay sheets to the preferred thickness, then move on to crafting, baking, assembling, and finishing your unique pieces. Each student will leave with at least two sets of custom-made earrings, as well as a working knowledge of the tools, techniques, and supplies needed to keep making polymer jewelry at home!
Supplies Needed: None.
