    Description

    Polymer Clay is a versatile medium that is rapidly being recognized in the artist community. A large part of its popularity is that it is easy to work with and only requires a home oven to “cure” the clay. We will be discussing the various types of polymer clay and each of their characteristics. The right clay for the right project. Students will also be introduced to the works of well known PC artists and their particular style.
