Instructor:  Pat O'Brien

Date: Friday, November 28, 2025   9 AM - 12 PM

You will be making earrings, necklaces, pins, bookmarks, embellishments for plants, etc.  The ideas are only limited by your imagination.

I will be providing examples, cutters to create shapes, craft pasta press, findings to insert into clay so students can create earrings or necklaces, parchment paper to put thier items on and will take them home to bake and return to the club for students to pick up.

All levels of experience are welcome.

Materials:

• A small number of supplies are required to be purchased by students.
• A smooth surface tile (ceramic) such as 10x10
• An acrylic roller for pressing and combining clay
• A straight edge razor blade, preferably with handles
• Plastic sandwich bags to put extra unused clay for storage
• 3-6 different colors of polymer clay
• covering for table and apron

Objectives:

1. It's fun, relatively inexpensive, colorful and extremely lightweight.  To make the clay permanent the pieces must be baked in a toaster oven at 275 degrees for 30 minutes.  This I can furnish or students can take home and bake themselves.

Products can be purchased at Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Amazon.  There are frequent sales of supplies, just check out ads.  Many times they offer 40% off polymer clay.  You can mix different manufacturers of clay so you don't have to purchase all one type.
