Flex: Polymer Clay: Minions + Fun Facts + Fan Club Sculpting

In this class we will be recreating our own cute version of these characters using Clay!

There are NO live meetings for this class! A Weekly Clay Tutorial Video will be posted in the classroom, every Monday at 12:00am (Pacific Time). You may view the video at your convenience. Each week for 6 weeks students will be guided through multiple clay tutorials of Characters! In this class you will also learn more trivia, and fun character facts! You will socialize with other fans. In this class I strive to keep students fully engaged and inspired by the material! 

Art in general is like a sport. You have to frequently train that muscle to get even better! This 6 week course will for sure improve each learner’s polymer clay skills and confidence. Through these videos student will learn how to start and complete 8 clay masterpieces!
