Class Experience

Students learn beginner polymer clay skills through step-by-step demonstrations and live sculpt-along sessions to create animal-themed charms. Instruction covers basic shapes, color blending, attaching small pieces, texturing with tools or household items, and preparing charms for home baking with adult supervision. Each week builds skills progressively and includes opportunities to share progress and finished pieces.

Learning Outcomes

  • Sculpt basic animal-themed charms using foundational shapes and forms

  • Mix and blend clay colors and create surface textures using tools or household items

  • Attach small pieces securely and prepare charms for home baking with adult supervision

  • Create facial features and expressive poses appropriate for small charms

Prerequisites

Materials needed:

  1. Polymer clay (I recommend purchasing a set that includes the colors of the rainbow)

  2. Modeling clay tools or household objects (plastic tools, toothpicks, dotting tools) for sculpting/texturing

  3. A smooth work surface (mat, wax paper, tile)

  4. Eye pins or wire (optional; inserted into the top of the charms so they can be attached as charms to necklaces and bracelets).

  5. Baby wipes or paper towels for cleaning

  6. Adult supervision for baking (usually done after class; I will provide instructions on how to bake the charms)
