beauty is in the detail.. this course offers .a chance to experiment with colour, pattern
and form to create individual decorative beads using polymer
clay (Fimo/Sculpey). This wonderfully versatile medium can be shaped and moulded
in various innovative ways to produce different effects. Learn to design and make jewellery combining your own miniature creations with selected ready-made beads. |
The Course (Two days) A number of modelling techniques are covered during the course such
as cane work and millefiori, embossing and texturing. Completed
beads are then hardened in a small oven. |
