Polymer Clay Classes
Currently I am offering two types of classes: on-line and in-person.

On-Line Classes
To take any of my on-line classes, please visit CraftEdu.com.

All classes on this site are created as slide presentations with voice narration, which means that you will be able to see each project demonstrated step-by-step with close-up pictures, and hear the explanations given by the instructor for each step. There is a free preview portion of each class, in which the finished project is demonstrated, the purpose of the class is explained, and all materials and tools are listed. After paying for the class, you will be given access to the presentation, and the presentation may be viewed a number of times at your convenience.

All my classes at CraftEdu.com also include a downloadable screen capature handout in pdf format. After taking a class, you will be able to ask me any questions related to the class (the questions may be posted in a public forum or e-mailed to me privatly).

In-Person Classes
I will be glad to travel to any place in the USA to teach at your local polymer clay guild or bead shop. The class fee is $60 per person per 6-hour workshop, and I would like to see at least seven students in the class.

Here are two examples of the classes I teach in person (and I am open for your ideas and requests):

Polymer Clay Faux Cloisonne Class

Faux Cloisonné Class
Cloisonné is an ancient metal-working technique that involves soldering pieces of wire to the metal base and filling them up with glass enamels in various colors.

Faux cloisonné is made using polymer clay right in your own house, and does not require any complicated equipment or toxic materials.

The class includes step-by step hands-on demonstration of the basic technique and its variations, such as use of the metal leaf, mica powders, and various beads and crystals for additional visual effects. Special attention is paid to possible errors and ways to correct or avoid them.

The class also includes a comparison of various types of dimensional glazes and resin products available on the market.

Sculpted Orchids Class
Orchid flowers are ideal models for polymer clay because they come in so many interesting shapes and colors.

In this class, you will learn how to create different patterns found on the orchid petals, such as color gradation, spots, and stripes. You will also learn how to form four basic types of orchids – phalaenopsis, cattleya, cymbidium, and paphiopedilum.

To make your arrangements even more colorful and exciting, sculpting of many types of polymer clay leaves will also be demonstrated in this class.

The last part of the class covers such topics as construction of focal beads with sculpted flowers, use of pearls and semi-precious beads, and various finishes (mica powders, glazes, and acrylic paints).

Please contact me by E-mail to arrange a class.
