CraftArtEdu - Learn How to Work with Polymer Clay

Take the First Step!


Have you thought about giving polymer clay a try but haven't yet made the plunge? Perhaps you think it will be too expensive or take too much time to learn before you can make something you're proud of. Well, think again!
 
Cathy Harm, one of our most prolific (and enthusiastic) clay instructors, has just created a class especially for YOU! In Polymer Clay Beginners Notebook, Cathy gets you right to the fun using just a few supplies, and by sharing lots of tips, tricks and know-how. By the end, you'll also have a beautiful decorative item to show for it!
 
Yes, I admit I'm a bit biased, but if you're looking for a new way to express your creativity, polymer clay is a terrific option. So take that first step, jump in, and join the fun!
 
Cheers!

Polymer Clay Beginners Notebook with Cathy Harm
 
If you've seen the many amazing polymer clay classes on CraftArtEdu and thought to yourself: "That looks sooo complicated! There is no possible way I can do that!" Well, yes, you can! And Cathy will take some of the mystery of this seemingly complex process and show you how to get started.
 
The content in this class is focused on everything Cathy wishes she had been told when she first started working in clay. She didn't want to spend a ton on supplies, but she wanted to experience some success relatively quickly, too. Not only will you be introduced to basics needed to get started, but you'll make some very impressive projects guaranteed to make you, your friends and family "ooh and ahhh"! 
 
In this two-part class, you'll learn how to:
  • work effectively with your basic supplies including pasta machine and cutting blades
  • adapt several common household items into clay making tools and supplies
  • make a millefiori cane using two color blending techniques 
  • create a goof-proof leaf cane (no matter how you goof it up, this can always comes out looking good!)
  • apply your canes in two different ways to a light switch cover plate
Cathy also shares many time-saving and trouble-shooting tips from her 12+ years of clay experience! Once you master the simple techniques shown in this class, you'll be prepared to go on to more advanced cane and project classes and you'll be creating your own gorgeous designs in no time.
 
If you're brand new to polymer clay, this class is a great way to begin. If you've dabbled before, get out those supplies and let this class jumpstart you back into clay again!
