Faux Stone Polymer Clay Earrings Workshop
with Sarah Marcus
Saturday, August 17th, 2024 from 10am to 2pm
Ages 16 yrs +
8 students class limit
What: You will be making beautiful faux stone polymer clay earrings. Once this veneer technique is learned you can use any color combination. The possibilities are endless! It is one of the most popular techniques right now in this medium for jewelry creation. You can make veneers ahead of time and use them when needed. You will leave class with a finished pair of earrings, your left over veneer, and the knowledge you need to use this technique and let your imagination fly.
Student requirement: Intermediate – knowledge and experience in how to condition polymer clay, work with the clay, and use clay cutters is required. You will need to bring your conditioning machine, hand roller, cutting blade, and a *conditioned small block (2 oz) of Premo! Sculpey Translucent clay. We will not be conditioning our clay during class time. Our time will be spent on faux stone technique and creating our earrings. General shaped clay cutters in the size and shape for the earrings will be provided. All other materials and tools will be provided.
*Please come to class with a block of Premo! Sculpey Translucent clay that has already been conditioned with your clay roller/conditioning machine!!! Your clay needs to be conditioned so it will not be brittle, as we will be sanding it to finish. You can find a 2 oz package at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or online.
There will be a one hour lunch break from 12 to 1pm.
