Dive into the vibrant and versatile world of polymer clay in this inspiring three-day course led by the talented Caroline Casswell. Perfect for beginners and seasoned crafters alike, this workshop will guide you through creating intricate canes, unique beads, and stunning jewellery, as well as decorative items like bowls and buttons.

What You’ll Learn and Create:
Day One: Start by selecting your favourite colours and learning to craft canes—beautiful, patterned designs within the clay, similar to sticks of rock. Use these canes to create a variety of beads for necklaces, bracelets, or a mix-it-up design. Beads will be oven-cured by the end of the day.

Day Two: Explore a new colour palette and design more complex canes. Enhance your beads with striped edges and experiment with a mandala-style bowl, showcasing the intricate patterns you’ve mastered.

Day Three: Finalise your beads and thread them into necklaces or bracelets. Use your remaining canes to craft additional items like earrings, buttons, or even a steel bracelet. Discover the magic of turning scrap clay into decorative laminate sheets for unique designs.

Why Choose This Course?
Caroline’s approachable teaching style ensures you’ll feel confident as you learn, experiment, and create. By the end of the retreat, you’ll take home a stunning collection of handmade items and the knowledge to continue exploring polymer clay at home.
