polymer clay treasure tins

In this one day workshop we will be sculpting with polymer clay on metal tins to create whimsical capsules for keeping small treasures safe. The clay will be baked in an oven, and then painted to give the sculptures colour. Additional found objects like glass cabochons, stones and shells can also be incorporated into the sculpture before baking.

Sculpting with polymer clay is a very satisfying activity with lots of room for personal expression. We have a variety of specialized clay tools to explore and practice with.

Students will have time to design two tin box sculptures during this workshop.
