About this class

Watch award-winning polymer clay artist Doreen Gay Kassel and learn how to create whimsical polymer clay pods.??

In this class, Doreen will use inspiration from walks in the woods and demonstrate her techniques for creating pods and natural forms that can be used in jewelry or on their own as sculpture. ??

Pods are particularly luscious and lend themselves to all kinds of fantastic interpretations. ?Don’t be bound by ‘reality’ but learn how to use organic reference: how it grows – noticing patterns, symmetry, lack of symmetry. Then see how you can alter that ‘reality’ and take off on individual interpretations.

See step-by-step how to sculpt and mold the polymer when it’s soft, then how to add texture after it’s been cured.

Doreen will share her special oil painting techniques so that you will be thrilled with your results even if you have never painted before.

To complete your pod, learn how to combine techniques that will add depth of color and richness to the piece.

You can re-watch all your CRAFTCAST purchases as many times as you like.
