Come and Colour My World with us – a theme that lends itself wonderfully to making jewellery and especially rainbows! During this workshop you’ll learn the basics of using Polymer Clay including conditioning & colour mixing.

You’ll prep your clay & pick your palette & learn to make clay noodles using an extruder. All guided by the very experienced polymer maker & proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Cody!

While our focus is earrings, you will also have the option to turn your rainbows into badges or pendants with the findings we provide if that’s your preference. You will have access to a massive range of colours and can make identity rainbows or just palettes you love for the outfits you love!

You’ll finish the workshop by assembling all your earrings, ready to walk out the door sporting a pair completely Made by You!

We allow 2 hrs for this workshop to ensure time to bake your clay but if you need to leave a little earlier just let us know.
