Sheree’s workshop was just what I needed to get started with my polymer clay journey Sheree was great and very comprehensive in her instructions on how to achieve the best and desired results whilst working with polymer clay, specifically to make functional pieces like earrings, broaches and keychains etc. I love how she focuses on a waste nothing approach whilst creating your pieces. Such a great venue and overall workshop experience as well!

It is so awesome to be surrounded by creative people and be able to learn from them and Sheree while doing your thang! You are set up for success from the beginning, are free to go rogue or follow the fold and just let your creative juices run wild. You have access to just the right amount of clay for it not to be too overwhelming, tools, tiles, notes etc. and even get to see any of your finished work baked to perfection. Sheree covers everything from getting started to finishing off your pieces ready for wearing. Thanks so much for an amazing afternoon ladies with extra sprinklings of special thanks to Sheree and Kubra for being so rocking awesome!
  • 5/5 from Hayley Mitchell, attended Jul 2023: This was a very therapeutic workshop and sheree is an amazing mentor. We were given the basic knowledge on how to condition clay, different techniques on creating a slab, tips and tricks and how to finish a peice. We were all given free range to create whatever we desired and help was there if needed. This was an inspiring afternoon for me and just pushes me to continue with this creativity. The art is endless with what you can create Was a great vibe and a very calming space to be in
  • 5/5 from Kathryn Reid, attended Jul 2023: Sheree was an incredible teacher who made the workshop fun, engaging and creative! She was thorough in her explanations and made it easy to understand. The earrings I made were so easy because Sheree made the process easy! Absolutely loved this and would definitely do it again!
  • 5/5 from Shani Wong, attended May 2022: Sheree was lovely, bubbly and enthusiastic about her work. We were shown different techniques to make our patterns, and plenty of time to explore our creativity. It was a suitable class for a beginner.
  • 5/5 from Gunjan Bamrah, attended May 2022: The class was amazing and Sheree was so thorough and fun at the same time. My daughter and I did this class together and we absolutely loved it. We learnt many new skills and Sheree had a whole heap of materials to learn with which was great. Didn’t realise how quickly the 4hrs went as we were thoroughly enjoying our class.
  • 5/5 from Tamara Spiess, attended Feb 2022: Great class, very easily understood with simple explanations. Teacher was very pleasant and clearly explained!
  • 5/5 from Linda Goss, attended Feb 2022: Great class. Sheree is clearly a talented artist and teacher. Her humour and ability to put everyone at ease really allowed everyone space and permission to try, make mistakes and learn to rework their piece into a glorious creation. I really loved her approach and message about mindful making. Can’t wait to do the master class next
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Cusack, attended Feb 2022: I loved this class, very well organised and heaps of useful tips and instruction. Lots of fun and we got to take home all our beautiful creations.
  • 5/5 from Ebony McManus, attended Feb 2022: Entertaining and clearly knowledgeable and skilled. She made learning fun and I would recommend her
  • 5/5 from Danielle Macnee, attended Feb 2022: Bloody loved this course. Sheree has so much passion and knowledge and you walked away with your own earrings Can it get better?
  • 5/5 from Mayan Baker, attended Feb 2022: Brilliant teacher, very thorough and engaging. I learnt a lot and enjoyed immensely. Have booked the Masterclass already :)
  • 5/5 from Jenni Crouch, attended Feb 2022: Amazing, loved every minute of the workshop. Plenty of materials and wonderful guidance from instructor. Definitely recommend
  • 5/5 from Sharon Lew, attended Feb 2022: The venue is spacious, which was handy considering we’re in a pandemic. The session was very well organised. Materials were provided in the middle of the tables and at the front table. There was lots of variety of colours and all sorts of accessories, so plenty to explore and play with. We get a booklet with all instructions and tips to keep for ourselves, which I thought was a great idea. Sheree is hilarious and knows her stuffs. She had 2 other assistants to help- bonus! Sheree did a few demos with very clear explanations! I had a lot of fun, although it is pretty intense with tons of info thrown at you (especially if you’re a beginner like me). Nothing a beginner cannot do though. Overall definitely recommend Sheree. Will be attending more sessions with her!
  • 4/5 from Jennifer Hallson, attended Feb 2022: Such a fantastic course and really enjoyed all the hands on time! We learnt how to do "slabs" and some of the "finishing" techniques to make the final earrings. I didn't find there was enough of the instructor coming around while we were working for feedback on our progress not sure if others were going up for feedback or she was working on pieces but I only saw her once in the time around the tables. I was also a little disappointed that there was only one making technique demonstrated - the plan outlined at the beginning of the course was that simple canes using scraps would be demonstrated which unfortunately didn't happen. The materials on offer were very generous and I was really pleased with what I produced in the time. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and talented, perhaps a bit abrupt at times but not to the detriment of the class. I was extremely disappointed that there was no proper snacks or break offered in the class, which was scheduled from 10-2pm, and no advance notice of lunch arrangements was provided in the booking details. Would definitely do another similar course to learn other techniques.
  • 5/5 from Angela Burgess, attended May 2021: The girls had a wonderful time learning so much. Different techniques and plenty of tip and hints. My daughter had a little trouble following one one the facilitator As she spoke very quickly. However overall it was a wonderful experience.
  • 5/5 from Miranda Reardon, attended May 2021: It was my first time making clay earrings, sheree provided easy to understand instructions. Overall I really enjoyed the workshop and it was easy to follow. Sheree was able to provide assist and advice when required. Couldn’t fault it
  • 5/5 from Lauren Boomgardt, attended May 2021: So much fun and so informative! The class was run by the loveliest, most gorgeous and charismatic teacher. It was a perfect mother & daughter day out and we will definitely come back for another class with her!
  • 5/5 from Sonia Iacopino, attended May 2021: The venue was great, although the heater was a bit loud and it was a bit too cold to have it off. The materials provided were great, there was plenty of clay for use. The teacher was great, really knowledgeable and happy to share her experience. I had to leave at 2pm to pick up my kids, but stayed a little later as the class ran over, but had to leave before it was completed.
  • 5/5 from Alitta Clarke, attended Mar 2021: I had an amazing day with Sheree learning about Statement Polymerclay Earrings!

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.
