Adult Clay Camp

All the kids get to do fun camps in the summer, why not adults?! This class was dreamt up by one of our favorite customers Joyce Gavino. We will spend two hours of each day learning techniques in polymer clay and then the last two hours free time creating! Learn all kinds of cool magic tricks like millefiori, transfers, inclusions and textures! Then make something fun like a pencil holder, wall art, sculptural animals, or jewelry! You'll get inspired by all the art in Layl's studio and from each other! After the class the group will plan to go out to get drinks and/or dinner if you would like to continue the fun into the night!

Thursday and Friday	August 6th and 7th	1:00 to 5:00 pm

Intermediate Millefiori Class

You will learn several simple techniques, such as the jellyroll, checkerboard, stripes, and bullseye. We will incorporate these techniques into more detailed designs to make flowers, stars, butterflies, and more! I will supply the clay, pre-conditioned and pre-mixed, so we can learn a lot in one night. You will also learn some color mixing techniques and secrets. At the end of the class, you’ll have beautiful canes to make into beads, buttons, magnets, or use to cover objects. No previous polymer clay experience is needed, but this class is a great step up from the intro class if you have already taken that.

Sun Sculpture Class

Create a 5 to 7-inch sun with lots of glitter and polymer clay! Learn Layl's special sculptural stuffing technique and glitter techniques. Plus create your own millefiori kaleidoscope design to use on some of the rays of your sun. You will also use some of Layl's scrap pile for details like the eyes and mouth.

Little Clayers Class

Got some little ones that want to play with clay? This is your chance to introduce them to polymer clay- a clay that bakes in your oven- even more fun than play dough! This class is designed for an adult to share the experience with one or more kids ages 4 1/2 and up. Have fun rolling and squishing, and then add your clay to an object like a jar or a frame and bake it up in your own oven! The price is $40 (adults accompanying a child are free.
