SUMMARY:Faux Stone Polymer Clay Earrings
DESCRIPTION:June 20\, 2026\, 12 pm – 3 pm \nInstructor: Clover Clausen \nLevel: All Levels \nCost: $45  \nUsing real stones and gems in jewelry can be costly\, time consuming\, and there is often a steep learning curve. In this class\, we will use simple to learn techniques coupled with a wide array of beautiful colors (i.e.\, powders\, inks\, and foils). When combined with translucent polymer clay\, any color and style of faux stone can be achieved\, and experimenting with different combinations of colors often results in unexpected\, breathtaking\, one of a kind pieces. \nStudents will take home:  Several pairs of earrings (as many as can be made in the allotted time).
