POLYMER CLAY I

INSTRUCTOR: JUDI WILD

 

Don’t Eat Clay! That’s one of two primary “don’ts,” but the list of “do’s” is nearly endless. My goal is to remove all the fear and to open a world of possibilities. A beginner in polymer clay will thoroughly enjoy learning about this fun and colorful medium. We will explore a multitude of techniques as we discover the versatility of polymer clay. You will learn proper clay conditioning, color mixing, marbling, Skinner Blends, slicing, curing, and cane building, as well as the use of extruders and molds to create several interesting and useful projects. No special skills or equipment is required for this class. Your Class Fee covers a kit that includes a supply of project clay, tissue blade, needle tool, and a workbook, as well as the class use of molds, cutters, extruders, ovens, and artistic enhancement supplies. Additional clay and supplies will be available for purchase. You may bring your own extra clay and any clay tools you choose. Please send me a hello email for more details, judiwild0702@gmail.com.

Wild, Judi

Judi, always the consummate crafter and eager to learn new skills, started wire wrapping in 2007. She has attended William Holland twice or more each year to further refine her wire wrapping techniques. Judi has trained with some of the best wire artists at William Holland, and has also studied Chain Maille & Silver. Since 2008, Judi has taught at local bead stores, bead shows, and all-day retreats, as well as providing numerous programs for her local bead society. She is the co-founder and past president of the Greater Birmingham Bead Society and a member of the Alabama Mineral and Lapidary Society. Judi also teaches Polymer Clay I and II. While looking for an alternative activity to wire wrapping and weaving, she absolutely fell in love with the versatility of PC. She is a member of the International Polymer Clay Association, and has organized a PC Group in her hometown to learn and share more about this colorful medium. Judi and her husband, John, a William Holland Cabochon instructor, live in Boaz, AL with a couple of rescue Yorkies who travel well and think they rule the household.
