Syndee Holt teaching at Studio 215 Feb 16 & 17, 2019

You won’t want to miss this information packed workshop with Syndee Holt. If you know Syndee like I know Syndee you will be  first in line to sign up for this workshop. She has more polymer knowledge in her head than you or I will ever accumulate.

From her blog:

I came to polymer clay as a means to maintain my sanity as a full time working mother. My  degree is from Brooks Institute of Photography and photography is still a passion as well as part of my working life.
I’ve been an independent designer for Sculpey (Polyform Products) for over 18 years and I currently serve as the Polyform Brand Ambassador. I am a founding member and former President of the infamous San Diego Polymer Clay Guild. I’ve written over 100 articles for crafting magazines both national and internationally.  In addition, I wrote Polymer Clay for the First Time, which is still available through amazon.com.  I have also made about 33 television appearances on HGTV, Discovery, DIY, etc.”

Syns 3-Ring Circus

The rules of this event are simple – if you want to do a technique I show you FINE!  If you don’t want to do that technique but are still having fun with a previous technique FINE! If you want to make a “left turn” with a technique I’ve shown you and make it your own – FINE!!  If the tools and clay colors incite some other kind of creative riot in you FINE!

Ring 1: My Sculpey tool Roundup

 

 

 


L
et me show you all the weird little tips and things I’ve worked out with some of these tools. IT’s quick and I’ve been told it’s (clay) life-changing!

Ring 2: Surface treatments – let’s get dirty!
Gelli plates and transfers? Silkscreens? DONE! Got alcohol pens? Colored pencils?  Let’s color!

Paints? Did someone mention Paints?  Why yes, we can explore surface treatments using paints as well.

Ring 3: The Liquid Lab

Let’s remove the veil of mystery surrounds Liquid Sculpey! Using LS and silicone molds, mix-ins, and of course, using LS Clear as glaze – making friends with a heat gun!

Of course, there will be bracelets! Of course, there will be the KC Stripper technique!
