Description:
Oh yea, everyone will know whose drink it is when you have your own personal tile to set your own personal drink on. We will make a bunch of spaghetti noodles out of polymer clay and then make spirals, waves, and curves to make a pattern on our ceramic tile. Then we will texture our spaghetti noodles with things like cake icing tools, leather stamps and dental tools.
After we bake our masterpieces, then we will come back with acrylic paints to highlight all that detail work you did. What an amazing effect all this has on polymer clay and you when you set your drink on your customized coaster.
*Additional time could be needed for baking this project, so picking up the completed project later that day or a later time might be necessary.
Minimum Age: 10
About the Instructor:
Teri Walters was introduced to polymer clay in 1999 and quickly became a “polyholic”. Since then, her artwork has taken her to many different places.
