Mirror Mosaic with Polymer Clay

X

Description

This is above all a fun workshop! You’ll learn how to work with polymer clay and experiment with different techniques to create wonderful patterns and gorgeous colours from a ‘palette’ of your choosing so the results will always be pleasing and reflect you! During the workshop you’ll: • condition the clay with a pasta machine (a surprisingly relaxing activity) • mix colours • try your hand at a modern version of the ancient Japanese art of Mokume Gane • use an extruder to create a cane (intrigued yet?) • dabble in gilding • try out some texturing and accentuate the results with waxes and polishes • even make some flowers to add a botanical touch to your mirror frame   By trying out these wonderful techniques you will have designed unique sheets that can be cut into tiles or shapes to design your mirror frame. Make it a day and bring your own lunch or pop into the lovely Vietnamese restaurant a stone throw away.

For more than 17 years I have provided after school Art Clubs and I still love it, but I have always wanted to work with adults so I get to work with materials and techniques that need more time and are too advanced to use with kids. I also want to prove that everyone can enjoy being creative and make something they are happy with. So far it works. After a Colourbuzz workshop everyone goes away with work they are proud of and pleased with! I offer workshops in my studio, but I can also travel and work with groups of all ages. Using my experience of working with primary school kids, I'm also happy to travel to a home/venue to do creative activities for a birthday party. I have completed a Creative Crafts Course an Advanced Silversmithing course and hold QTLS Status. In addition I am DBS checked.
