Join artist and jewellery maker Alison Jennings for a relaxed, hands-on workshop at Crafternoon Co. First you’ll learn the basics (like conditioning the clay, colour mixing and creating a slab), before moving on to some of Alison’s favourite polymer clay techniques (like sprinkles, coiling, terrazzo, and texturising), then cure and finish your designs with quality findings. Leave with two pairs of custom Christmas earrings in the colour palette of your choosing – think trees, baubles, candy canes, or more minimalist organic shapes if “festive but chic” is your vibe. All materials and tools are included, along with a refreshments and some sweet treats. All skill sets are welcome, from beginners to hobbyists!
