I’m teaching “Playing with Clay” (polymer clay) at Rae’s Yarn Boutique this Saturday. Anyone want to join us? Here’s the description from her website:

Learn fun techniques with polymer clay to create custom buttons for your knitted garments, add creative toppers to your knitting needles, or make stunning custom grip crochet hooks. Plan on a 10-15 dollar material fee for clay and tools.

The class is $30 to Rae. Materials costs will depend on what you take home with you… $10.50 for three clay colors plus a slicing blade… if you have any at home, bring them with you. Bring boring metal crochet hooks if you want to remake them with a fine handle. I’ll bring a few pens you can cover, too, if you wish. It’s always a good time. I’ve taught polymer for years… you will love your first efforts, guaranteed, and it only gets better from there.

I’m thinking I may play with handles for felted bags. (It could be a challenge since most clays are somewhat flexible, but the only way to know is to try.) Sounds fun to me!

Please consider joining us for a few hours this Saturday afternoon. It is going to be a lot of fun.
