Melbourne Bead Expo 2021 – ‘Mica Gems’ Polymer Clay Earrings – Dani Rapinett & Leanne Fergeus

July 16, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Learn the basics of polymer clay whilst creating these gorgeous earrings from black/white polymer.
Students will not only learn how to make these earrings but also what earring findings are best, what glue to use (or not to use!), how to protect/seal their work and many other little tips and tricks.
Not an earring fan? That’s ok…..we can also show you how to use this technique to create beautiful polymer cabochons for your beadwork (or to turn into pendants). This is a versatile technique that can be used in many applications.
Students can expect to leave this workshop with several pairs of earrings (or multiple cabochons) and extra materials to make more at home.
