- Jan Montarsi is teaching his Minimal Waste Kaleidoscope Cane, and after you create your cane you will learn how to make jewelry items with slices.
- Lynn Yuhr will transport you into Meditative Magic, Embrace your primitive artistic nature and create a painted leaf out of polymer clay. These pendants are an aboriginal-inspired design that plays with simple yet effective graphics and an abstracted leaf shape. Color blends and bold shapes create an unmistakably whimsical leaf.
- Kira McCoy will show you how to cover wood and create an armature to use mixed-media along with your polymer clay and create a gorgeous bird sculpted on a decorative perch.
