In short, I am busy: Maker Workshop: Sculpey Clay

Supplies

• Sculpey III
• Modeling clay (for little ones)
• Tools for working with clay (sample selection purchased from Amazon)
• Jewelry findings
• Freezer paper and/or foil
• Plates etc. to carry things home

Resources and Display Titles

• Polymer clay for beginners by Emily Chen
• Instructions for baking etc.

Notes

• I remind everyone to use small pieces, both because it's easier to bake and because Sculpey is expensive. I give a rundown of the properties of Sculpey and then people create on their own.

Evaluation

• 1-22
• Attendance: 30ish
• Notes: Been a while since I did this - definitely needed to remind the kids to use small amounts and I need to get regular modeling clay for the really little kids who just crumble it.
• 8-2-18
• Attendance: 22
• Notes: I swear I did this last year, I must have forgotten to write it up. Or maybe I didn't. Anyways, I didn't have enough clay this time - I'd forgotten how much they use. I reminded them to use foil bases and this group was mostly a lot more imaginative and came up with stuff on their own. I also used the teen kit as well (which now needs more clay)
• 7-8-16
• Attendance: 20
• Notes: I need more paring knives and more printed samples. Children have no imagination.
