‘Dreamscapes’ | Polymer Clay & Mixed Media Wearable Art Workshop

Create your own miniature wearable artworks in this brand new workshop inspired by Leanne Fergeus Art.

Combining the vibrant beauty of alcohol inks with the versatility of polymer clay, you’ll learn how to craft stunning one-of-a-kind pendants featuring dreamy blends of colour, metallic highlights, and organic patterns.
Students will also learn about working safely with UV resin and the pros and cons of this before finishing their pieces with a UV resin coating.

Perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike, this relaxed and creative class will guide you through designing, shaping, colouring, and finishing your pieces. Experiment with flowing alcohol inks, shimmering accents, and simple techniques to achieve beautiful professional-looking results every time.

Please note: this a technique workshop only and we will not have time to create jewellery from your pieces. If you need assistance with this, please let us know and we can organise a jewellery making lesson.
Photos are examples only and colours and texture will be up to each individual student.

Why Do a Workshop with Us?

Here’s what makes us different from other creative spaces.

•  All our Tutors are experienced in teaching and have many years of experience working with their respective mediums/in their field of expertise – for most of our tutors this is over 15 years experience.
• Our workshop sizes are always small with usually no more than 12 students.
• We provide a friendly, inviting space and cater for many challenges you may face  (health issues, food intolerances, anxiety, etc, etc.). Many of our students (and some of our tutors) suffer from chronic illness and have special needs. If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to Dani who will do her best to help you out;
• We use only high quality materials/products in our workshops and myself and our Tutors are familiar with how these work and can give you accurate information/answers to your questions;
• Students are able to browse our 1500+ products and purchase if they wish to either before, during or after their workshop;
• We offer payment plan options on most workshops as we understand that finances can be tight (please email if you’d like to take advantage of this);
• We are fully insured and there is always someone on site who has a Level 2 first aid qualification and asthma management training. All tutors who are working with children have current, valid Working with Children Checks.
• We offer ‘after workshop’ support for all our students. Students can ask questions of our tutors and refresh any information they need to after the workshop via email, phone or in our Facebook group especially for students.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to seeing you at the Studio very soon!
