Using polymer clay, you will create a bounty of playful character faces, masks and heads to be combined later with bodies of clay, fabric or whatever you can imagine. You will learn how to sculpt, mold and carve imitative ivory and ebony heads adorned with rich embellishments and marks of millefiore canework and metallic powders. You will also learn how to antique and highlight designs with acrylic paints and how to embellish these pieces with wirework and beaded designs. This will be a fun, hands-on class and you will leave with many wonderful characters.
