In this two-part foundation video class, I share my years of experience working with this medium and answer the following beginner questions:
- What basic tools do I need?
- Why do I need a pasta machine?
- Which brand of clays should I choose?
- How do I create a work area and store the clay?
- How do I work with adhesives?
- What's involved in baking the clay and how do I finish my pieces?
This class also takes you a step further by teaching you how to make and
transform three different types of basic canes. I call these "double
duty" canes. The tools you'll need are minimal, and once you see how
easy it is to get started, you'll want to continue the journey!

Component Flower Caning
The floral caning in these pieces may look complicated, but they're not!
Component caning is just caning that uses individual components to tell a more complex story. I've taught this class to many beginners, and every single student was able to create their own lovely floral compositions using this method. You will be no exception! Once you understand the basic techniques and processes, you are sure to find many uses for them - from pendants and boxes to floral compositions that can be framed and displayed.

Everyday Bangles with Dangles!
As you probably know, I often like to make big, bold statement jewelry with little regard to comfort. Well, these fun bangles are perfect for everyday and are very comfortable to wear. You can just wear the bangle, or you can add any number of dangles to your bangles!
This is a "foundation" class in that you will learn basic concepts and processes that will improve the overall quality of your work and increase your understanding of polymer clay. I've included some video and a comprehensive handout, too!
In this class, you'll learn how to make three bangles and two dangles:
- Twisty Bangle – it's the simplest to make.
- Runaround Striped Bangle – with a bead connector.
- Skinner Blend Plug Bangle – with a caned bead connector.
- Heart Dangle Striped Acorn Dangle – dangles add motion to your bangles!
Once
you understand how the basic bangle is made, you can expand into
bracelets that showcase your own personal aesthetic. I'd love to see
what you come up with!

Flower Ring
Rings are a passion of mine! When I posted a few images of my most recent rings on Facebook, several people said, "Make a class!" So I did, and it's quite comprehensive with the goal of taking your ring making to a new level.
I picked the Mission Style Base because it has so many advantages. It's squared off (so it sits perfectly on my dresser), it doesn't twist on the finger, and design-wise, it's quite versatile yet very strong. In addition to the flower version, you'll also learn how to make the fun stacking rings shown above.
