Polymer Clay Tutorials
All of the Polymer Clay Workshops I have provided, have full notes, with multiple photos and detailed written, step by step, instructions. So I have made these notes available in PDF format, to purchase as stand alone tutorials, from my Etsy shop, PolyOriginals, for anyone who is unable to attend a workshop.
The prices vary on how long and complex the notes are, and I have put a skill level next to them, beginner, moderate or advanced, to give you an indication as to how much experience you may require. Most of the notes have 3 PDF files with them ; the course notes, a downloadable squared measuring guide, and useful notes for those new to Polymer Clay.
Thank you.
