Workshop Details
Spend the day playing with polymer clay creating decorative items for Christmas such as candle holders and tree decorations, perfect as gifts or keep for yourself.
Polymer clay is a malleable material that is baked in a domestic oven. Available in a rainbow of colours, it can be mixed and blended to create beautiful effects. This workshop will show you how to create a polymer clay ‘cane’ in a multi-coloured star design (think of a piece of seaside rock with a pattern running through it) using translucent polymer clay. This will be sliced and the pieces used to create a candleholder and tree decorations. The translucent clay allows light to glow through to create a magical effect. This workshop will introduce novices to the marvels of polymer clay and develop the skills of those already familiar with its addictive qualities!
