laura’s Presentation

Polymer & Textiles

In this session I will demonstrate several textile techniques to use with polymer clay. I will use textiles, like fabrics and threads or textile techniques as structure or visual enhancement for the work, like different embroidery stitches or tassels.

Attendees will learn how to incorporate textile materials and techniques to polymer clay. I will demonstrate the use fabrics as structure for jewelry and book-making, use different kinds of threads as structure and embellishment and talk about weaving with wire.
