What's included
1 live meeting
35 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
Students may join this club at any time! In this polymer clay club, at the beginning of every weekly class students will vote on which animal sculpture they would like to learn how to create. Students will follow the teacher lead as they learn to create the sculpture that won the vote. With a shared love for art, learners will for sure gain friends in the clay club as well! While creating our masterpieces, fun discussions among peers will be encouraged! Absolutely no previous skills or knowledge is required for this class! This class will create a strong foundation to build your future polymer clay craft. We will learn key clay techniques, and how to use our tools to their best ability! These techniques are some of the most useful and critical methods to know! These skills will set a basic framework to learn other clay skills in the future. This class will help establish a well rounded foundation and understanding of the basic polymer clay discipline. This club is also great clay practice to create more confident and comfortable crafters. In this live class, I will demonstrate the techniques as students follow along. I will give helpful tips and tricks to polymer clay to advance each individual!
