Class Description

In this intermediate 4–5-hour class Anke will show you how to work with translucent clay, without losing the special effect it gives. This class is a fun way to learn new techniques and apply them right away. Playing with colors AND translucency will make your mind blow with new ideas for your own designs. The dangle earrings are a pair of light-weight earrings that are delicate, pretty and offer endless variations! They will dangle elegantly with every move you make. You will learn lots of techniques  including:

• how to work with translucent AND opaque clays combined
• how to add colour to translucent elements in your design
• how to doodle on clay
• reinforcements for fragile clay components
• a playful style with ease

These earrings will give you a chance to play with your own ideas and to develop various styles. Once you learn this technique, you will be able to create so many unusual pieces of jewelry including earrings and pendants of your own design.

The participants of this class should be familiar with basic polymer clay working techniques.

Skill Level: beginners to advanced
