This is an ongoing weekly class. Each week, we will complete a new polymer clay creation! None of the other polymer clay classes will be part of this class, so no repeats. Topics are below. _______________________________ Schedule of Topics: Week of 10/7/24 - ***NO CLASS ON FRIDAY*** - Mushroom Week of 10/14/24 - ***NO CLASS ON MONDAY*** - Witch Gnome Week of 10/21/24 - Frankenstein Week of 10/28/24 - ***NO CLASS ON THURSDAY - HALLOWEEN*** Week of 11/4/24 - Kawaii Rainbow Dragon Week of 11/11/24 - Beaver Week of 11/18/24 - Sea Turtle Doughnut Week of 11/25/24 - ***NO CLASSES THIS WEEK - THANKSGIVING WEEK*** ------------------------------------------ ****All ongoing classes will take a break during the summer (June - August) for students to attend summer camps, vacations, etc. We will resume classes after Labor Day in September! ________________________________ Students will learn in a small group via zoom video chat with Cara.

(white polymer clay can be painted with acrylic paint) *Optional: Clay Tool Set *Household Items Instead of Tool Set: popsicle stick, toothpick, straw, paper clip ***Students will need to bake their polymer clay after class. Follow the specific instructions on your clay's packaging. ______________________ **Class Policies: *All class times are approximate. Class length may vary due to student ability and class size. Classes are designed to be no longer than the time allotted. *Late/Missed Class Policy - All courses will begin on time as long as one learner is in the classroom. In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message on the discussion board and exit the classroom after 10 minutes.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Art and Design from UNC Charlotte
Hello, my name is Cara!
I have been teaching art since 2003 in school and studio environments. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Art from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My concentrations are in education and painting. I have experience teaching students as young as 3 up to adults. The majority of my in-school teaching experience was in grades 6-12. At my studio, I teach students weekly and also have classes for homeschool students, open studio, birthdays, graduations, and team-building. I love that online platforms allow teachers and students to connect across the world! What an amazing opportunity!
I love to create bright-colored abstract paintings, usually in acrylic or watercolor. I live with my husband and three dogs a short drive from my art studio! I look forward to meeting you!

**Class Policies:
*Please have learners log in 2-3 minutes before the scheduled class start time so that we can start on time.
*All class times are approximate. Class length may vary due to student ability and class size. Classes are designed to be no longer than the time allotted.
*Late/Missed Class Policy - All courses will begin on time as long as one learner is in the classroom.

***Tardy Policy - Learners who have missed ten minutes or more of the class time should request a transfer. I will lock the meeting after ten minutes so that the students in class are not distracted by late students. Instruction is given step-by-step, so tardiness detracts from everyone's learning experience. I am happy to work with you to try to meet your scheduling needs and want each learner to have an optimal experience!
***I do not check or respond to messages while I am teaching classes. I will respond as soon as I can after class has ended.
