Sculpting from the Imagination

These courses offer an introduction to the techniques of creating small scale sculptures in polymer clay. We will be using Super Sculpey, a very versatile and easy to use clay-like medium which once sculpted is cooked to a hard state and can be finished with various effects so you can leave with a unique piece of your own creation.
