Arts Collaborative Medford is offering a polymer clay studs workshop led by Katharine Altman. In this beginner-friendly hands-on workshop, you’ll create a pair of colorful, lightweight stud earrings while learning the basics of working with polymer clay. Katharine will cover essential techniques, including how to properly condition clay for smooth, workable results. You’ll also get an introduction to various tools and methods for shaping and adding texture. While your creations cure, the instructor will demonstrate advanced techniques to help inspire your designs in the future. During class, you’ll craft your own unique pair of stud earrings, which will be baked to cure. To complete your pieces, hypoallergenic posts will be attached, so you can wear your handmade earrings right away. This class is open to adults and kids ages 8 and older (with an accompanying adult). Cost is $40. Register through the ACM website.
