Polymer Clay Accessories Making Workshop (Yuhua Community Centre - 26 August 2006)

Good news, we have scheduled a workshop at Yuhua Community Centre on the 26th August 2006. The project title was suppose to be "Polymer Clay Jewellery Making”, but we ended up with “Polymer Clay Accessories Making Workshop”. The main reason the name change is because there’s already an existing class teaching people DIY jewelry.



We want to invite all those interest in the workshop to drop us an email or call YuHua CC directly. Do not miss this opportunity because the workshop fees are kept minimal, i.e. around $15 only for half day session. And please note, seats are limited, so, first come first serve.

Now coming back to the workshop details, we wanted something different from the previous workshops, it has to be easy to learn, not too tedious, yet challenging enough. And we finally came up with gold leaf polymer clay project.


It is really a cool project to work with. Imagine, working on real gold. Given that the gold leaf is very thin, it really isn’t very costly project to do. Take a look at some of the accessories that we have done up. They look very cool right. I especially like the egg shape choker. The egg shapes reminds me of those candy eggs that I used to love.




With a single piece of gold leaf, you can reproduce quite a number of pieces. It all depends on how much you want the gold leaf to break. (i.e. The “breakings” in the gold creates a very interesting pattern.)


At the workshop itself, we will be working on the focal bead. That is the round donut shape pendant (First picture above). There are quite a number of steps required. For those who are quick, you can proceed to produce an entire necklace of bead.




Remember, email us if you are interested in learning “GOLD LEAF FOCAL PENDANT” project. After the workshop, we will be distributing the tutorial sheets. Drop us a note if you want a free copy.

Cheers
