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.

Artists Day At Sebring High School

Polymer Clay Head - Alice Stroppel

Polymer Clay Head - Alice Stroppel

I had a great time at Sebring High School yesterday. It always surprises me that there are so many people that don’t know anything about polymer clay. The number one question is “what is it made of”.

I took the head above , my 3 foot tall tourist man below, my face canes and lots of bracelets, vases and things. The kids were very receptive to the medium and Steve Vandam, one of the art teachers at SHS, asked if I would come demo pc for his classes. I’m excited to be asked and can’t wait.

The second thing people ask is “how long did it take you to make that”. Now this one is pretty much impossible to answer usually. Unless you are mass producing something, it’s hard to figure the time, at least for me. I don’t write it down and so it’s soon forgotten. I’ve tried so many different things, who can remember?

Third thing that is so difficult to answer is “What inspires you?”. Everything……………..anything……..

I gave my card to several of the art students and ask them to take a look at both this blog and my other one, The Figurative Artbeat. I wonder how many actually have.

If any students are reading this, please leave me a comment and let me know you stopped by, I’ll be thrilled.
