Polymer Clay Techniques workshop with Terezinha Justino (TZMinis)
Location: Roslyn Jacobs house in Rancho Cordova, CA
New to polymer clay? This beginner technique class is the perfect introduction. Designed for complete beginners, we’ll cover the basics of conditioning clay, blending colors, and learning simple techniques that form the foundation for endless creative projects. You’ll get hands-on guidance as we explore texture, shaping, and finishing tips, and you’ll leave with finished pieces and the confidence to keep creating at home. Tools to bring to class: tweezers, small scissors, X-Acto knife, size small tip 00 or 0 paintbrush, and your personal tools. The instructor will bring other tools and materials needed for students to use in class. No prior experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and creativity! Cost: $85.00.
