Come o\Out and Clay - Skinner Blends

This image shows a smooth gradient of colors in polymer clay blending from deep purple to blue, teal, yellow, and cream, creating a visually striking ombre effect. The material appears layered or sculpted, with soft curves and slightly uneven edges, adding texture and depth.
Introductory - No experience required
Age Requirement : 18+ and minors 13+ with Guardian Supervision

Instructor: Nancy Nearing


Interested in polymer clay? Come hang out for a brief demo and some work time with other artists. This month I'll demonstrate the Skinner blend - Judith Skinner's elegant solution to graduated colors.

Spend a Sunday afternoon at MakeHaven exploring the possibilities and basic techniques for using polymer clay. We will start with a brief demonstration of the Skinner blend, and end with time to work on either practicing the technique or working on a project of your own. Bring at least 2 colors of polymer clay and any tools you are using at home. I'll provide pasta machines and blades to use.
