Polymer Clay Canes for Beginners

27 videos, step by step, beginner cane workshop beginner Cane Tutorial What people are saying about this tutorial. jennifer rose Just finished this first workshop on how to make canes, and I must say I learned so much. This is exactly what I have been looking for, someone who could explain cane making in a step by step that process that I could replicate. I watched the videos, went into my studio and began to create all of the canes Alice showed. I finally have results I can be proud of, and I say thank you so much for doing this workshop. My only question now is when do we get more workshops. If you are only going to take one online class let it be this workshop. Thank you Alice for your hard work, and your dedication to helping others learn the joys of polymer clay.

Found Objects to Use With Polymer Clay

Found Objects

Several days ago, I promised you a video showing how to use objects you might have around the house to imprint polymer clay projects. Or you may want to use that interesting found object to embellish one of your creations.

I “found” all of these items while I was clean out and cleaning up. You might say I “re-found” them. Most are things I have collected over the years because they were interesting and I just knew one day I’d “make something from them”. ( I think there is a name for this illness……..most of you have it too I think!)  Some are just everyday items.

Even my husbands work space didn’t escape the scavenger hunt……don’t tell him though, he gets scared when I venture into his garage with that look on my face.

Today, I’m working on samples and tomorrow or the next day I’ll post the video. Start looking around you, I know you’ll find lots of things to play with. Roll out some fresh clay and experiment. Or be ready with your treasures for when you watch my new video and we can experiment together.

Just remember, if you use something from your kitchen for clay, you won’t want to use it again for food.

  • Hi I am new at this. I would like to make a drawer handle for my kitchen cupboards. It would be like a
    /…../ like this against the drawer..that is the closest I can get to telling you. I would like to cover something ? and put the screws into it so I can attach it to the drawer.
    I don’t have a clue what to use. I want it in silver so it looks like the ones you buy in the store. I would like some help with some ideas. I may made the handles out of clay to look like light oak so it will match. I need something that is going to hold up… would hate for them to break. thanks any help would really make me happy :) Laura

    The simplest thing to do, and what I’ve done at my studio, is to cover the existing handles or purchase inexpensive ones in the shape you want and cover with pc.

  • Ok thank you for your help :). I hopefully can find enough cheap ones to buy.
