Festive Polymer Clay Earring or Brooch Workshop

Join artist and jewellery maker Alison Jennings for a relaxed, hands-on workshop at Crafternoon Co. First you’ll learn the basics (like conditioning the clay, colour mixing and creating a slab), before moving on to some of Alison’s favourite polymer clay techniques (like sprinkles, coiling, terrazzo, and texturising), then cure and finish your designs with quality findings. Leave with three pairs of custom Christmas earrings OR three brooches in the colour palette of your choosing – think trees, baubles, candy canes, or more minimalist organic shapes if “festive but chic” is your vibe. All materials and tools are included, along with refreshments and some sweet treats. All skill sets are welcome, from beginners to hobbyists! You’ll make/learn • Conditioning the clay, colour mixing, texturizing, coiling & terrazzo effects. • Using cutters vs. hand-cutting for totally unique shapes • Baking temps & timing that actually works • Sanding, finishing & carding • Hardware assembly (jump rings, posts, dangles) • Tips galore – from the best places to buy supplies locally, fabulous online resources and advice on levelling up your clay game if you’re interested!
