Class experience
Learners will explore the properties of polymer clay by mixing colors and creating the textures to make a cupcake charm. We'll begin class with a discussion about what experience they have with the material and how they might create the colors and textures. We will have ongoing discussions and provide each other with feedback as we work. We will end the class with a celebration of what we learned and show our finished miniatures.

Learners will explore the process of creating a charm using polymer clay. They will use different methods of mixing and blending the clay, shaping and adding texture, and settling on a finished form.

I have taught art in a variety of settings to a wide range of ages for nearly 20 years with sculpture as a particular area of focus.
