Taster Workshops at Dunkleys Show

 It is now exactly one month until the Dunkleys Great NZ Craft Show.

SHOW SPECIAL: Discover Polymer Clay - only $7 at Dunkleys Great NZ Craft Show, North Shore Events Centre from 11am - noon on each day:
Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 October 2013

"Squeeze, twist, shape & bake" + lots of ideas

This is your chance to have a go. Get some in your hands and squeeze the clay to condition it, twist the different colours to create a marbled effect, cut a shape from the rolled sheet and bake it to harden. You will take this away with you, along with many ideas for things you can easily make from polymer clay, and hopefully the desire to do more.

Polymer clay comes in a vibrant array of colours; easily cut, shaped or moulded into flat or 3D pieces with many fascinating ways to decorate and texture the surface. Hardened by baking at oven temperatures (no kiln required), it is so easy to use at home for all sorts of hobbies and creative uses.

Extruded Light

 

I am really pleased with my second attempt (the first one slumped and is in the bin) at creating a large LED candle lit light. It is made from extruded translucent polymer clay. I used most of an 8oz pack of clay and wound the extruded string around a spherical glass bowl. The LED candle that is placed inside, changes through seven different colours and turns this translucent polymer clay creation into something magical. I need to try and take a video of it to show the changing colours.

 

This light will be one of the features on my stand at the Dunkleys Great NZ Craft Show, 18-20 October 2013 at the North Shore Events Centre, Auckland.
