Polymer Clay Mini Foods: Sculpting Charms

This continuation clay class focuses on miniature food charms using polymer clay. Weekly live demonstrations guide students through base shapes, color mixing, attaching small details, and texture techniques. Students sculpt step-by-step, prepare charms for home baking, and share progress in class.

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)
