Polymer Play: Make Your Own Accessories with Maddy

Polymer clay is an accessible, colourful and versatile material - a lot of fun to use, but even better with some introductory tips to get you going.

There are different types of clays and bake times, and different techniques to create shapes, blend colours, and express your colourful polymer visions!

We'll put this into practice and everyone can make some polymer clay accessories, like earrings with different types of backings (studs, hooks and clip-ons), keyrings, badges or magnets!
