‘Controlled Bargello’ Polymer Clay Workshop
17 August 2025 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

In this brand new workshop from Siobhan, will teach you how to adapt these age-old needlepoint patterns and turn them into a striking clay veneer to use for creating jewellery pieces, covering items etc.
This is needlepoint but let’s make it in polymer clay! Have you just been ‘winging’ your bargello patterns to date or simply want to learn how to create more precise, uniform and consistent patterns every time?
Siobhan will share her tips and tricks with you on how to achieve even slices and clean lines every time.
You will build your patterns on a tile provided to you as part of your workshop kit (or bring your own tile). This will allow you to transport it home easily and safely where you can either continue adding to it or cut it up and make something of your choice from your veneer.

Two different patterns are included, however, part of this workshop will also be dedicated to learning how to adapt existing needlepoint patterns for use with clay.
Colour choice and pattern is up to each individual student.
