Sampler Necklace – Two day workshop

Make a sampler of thirty different polymer clay beads that will be combined into a stunning sampler necklace with a custom covered clasp. Join Lindly Haunani, who has over 18 years of experience teaching polymer clay workshops, for an exciting, fun and fast paced weekend

You will learn how to make a “perfect” Skinner blend that will be fashioned into four “mother” canes:

• stripes
• spirals
• rounds
• stacked slab

You will then explore the possibilities of the more complex canes:

• lace
• leaves
• flowers
• zippers

Strategies for combining canes and tweaking their profiles will be presented.

Expand your repertoire of bead shapes to include:

• bi-cones
• pillows
• rounds
• twists
• tubes

Explore, hands on, molds, extrusions and bead rollers as means to making multiples. Learn how eccentric bead shapes can enhance or establish exciting stringing rhythms while experimenting with scale, proportion and emphasis.

Come with your two magical hands and your sense of humor: be prepared to be amazed and leave with an enhanced sense of your artistic sense and a beautiful sampler necklace.  This workshop is appropriate for a beginner or as a refresher/expansion course for the more experienced polymer clay artist.

Note: This workshop is designed for all levels of polymer clay experience from complete novice to more experienced. The emphasis is beads and bead shapes.
