What you'll do

Learn all the skills you need to make a stunning collection of statement earrings, as we touch on the basic knowledge of working with polymer clay.

Delve into techniques such as marbling, layering, and illustrating with acrylic paint, right through to complex skills like slab development, cutting and finishing. Buzzing with energy, your creativity will be sparked alight with in-depth demonstrations by Sheree from Polly Collective. With every colour of the rainbow, glitters, metallics, pastels and more at your fingertips you’ll have plenty of opportunities to play with polymer clay, use fancy tools and with Sheree’s personal shape cutter collection you will make some super rad gems to keep!

Earrings are constructed after the workshop (as you’ll learn the gluing process takes a bit of time) – however, everything you need to know is taught and any tools or products to complete most of them are provided. This workshop is ideal for beginners and experienced makers who wish to refresh their skills. Experience a true learning environment filled with creativity, fun, and inspiration!

Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class

Melbourne-based and Kiwi-born, designer and maker Sheree McCready is the brains and hands behind Polly Collective. After moving from NZ to Melbourne, Sheree sought an escape from a career in professional photography and discovered polymer clay. Cue months of research, lots of trial and error, and some truly gnarly creations. Sheree had finally found her niche. She now makes contemporary jewellery and sculpted art under Polly Collective, and is enthusiastic about sharing her zeal for polymer clay craft and its evolution in skills workshops. Sheree’s pieces use a mishmash of squiggles and dots to emphasise the simple shapes and bold colourways of her contemporary style. Her honest, down-to-earth and passionate presentation style will have you just as obsessed with polymer clay as she is.

Always such a good time at Sheree’s Polymer Clay Classes! Learn so much to take away and try. Many goodies included and lovely to network with likeminded makers with just as much enthusiasm. Sheree is positive and passionate about what she does, and it is always a pleasure to learn from her. Thank you!

Great location great day

Louise Francis • Feb 2020

Sheree is extremely generous with her knowledge and having additional helpers in the room is like 3 brains for price on 1! Class size isn’t an issue, you get get as much help as you need. Would be useful to research colours and patterns you like ahead of class, but remain open to new ideas on the day. Happily go to more!

Aniko Feeley • Feb 2020

Sheree was friendly, down to earth and engaging. The workshop was very informative and hands on with lots of products at our disposal to let our creativity flow. This was my first attempt at playing with polyer clay and with the guidance of the teachers, I produced 4 pairs of earrings that I will actually wear woohoo. I really enjoyed the workshop.
