Hi everyone!
I'm bringing back this series! In this video I combine my two worlds (school and clay) and attempt to turn my students' designs into polymer clay charms and figurines.
A huge shoutout to my wonderful students who have drawings featured in this video. I have of course maintained their privacy, but you know who you are!! Thank you for continuing to inspire me!
