While it’s great to learn from books and tutorials, many feel that the best way to learn is directly from a teacher at a polymer clay class. It’s certainly a lot of fun! Here’s a directory of polymer clay classes, events, and workshops. These classes often fill to capacity with the sponsoring group’s members, so if a class is open to the public it’s a good idea to register right away.
Because it’s common for people to travel (even internationally!) to these events, planning usually takes place far in advance of a polymer clay class or event.

Join us in this two-day class as we explore a variety of ways to use translucent polymer clay to achieve faux lampwork glass effects. Learn why working with translucent is so unique and discover how to use it to your best advantage. In addition, we’ll dive into the world of using iridescent powders to simulate dichroic glass effects. We will make beads in class, but will explore how these same techniques can be used for different types of projects as well.
