Have you checked out the polymer clay Christmas Trees Workshop in a Box?

Thanks to those who secured their box yesterday. They will be posted tomorrow morning so you can get creating asap!

We’ve now got 8 Workshop in a Box kits available ( one is currently out of stock but the item we are waiting for to complete the box is due in the next week or so, so won’t be far away.....sign up for restock notifications!).

If you’ve got any suggestions for future projects or you’ve purchased a box, we’d love to hear your feedback!

Our polymer clay Christmas Tree Workshop in a Box

Our polymer clay Christmas Tree Workshop in a Box is now available!

How cute are these?? They’re great tree/house decorations and make great gifts (as would the workshop box itself!). You could also make mini ones for earrings and pendants!

Due to ongoing covid related stock issues, I currently have limited numbers of these and whilst I’ll be trying to do more before Christmas I can’t guarantee it, so if you’re wanting one don’t leave it too long.

We got a big batch of Translucent Liquid Sculpey a

We got a big batch of Translucent Liquid Sculpey and also some Sculpey Oven Bake Adhesive in the delivery on Wednesday.
Coloured liquid clay and Sculpey Clear is due at the end of the month.

Some fun facts about Sculpey Liquid Polymer Clay!

• Sculpey Bake & Bond has been renamed to Sculpey Oven Bake Adhesive.

• Liquid polymer clay can be used to bond clay to clay - raw to raw, baked to baked or raw to baked.

• Sculpey Clear can be used as a high gloss coating on polymer beads etc. Applied correctly, and hit with a heat gun, it has a glass-like look. Check out the tutorial by @debbiecrothers on this topic.

• Sculpey Oven Bake Adhesive (formerly Bake & Bond) is not a glue. It is thicker than ordinary liquid polymer which is great for some projects but not others. It is great for constructing polymer clay pieces (such as joining pieces together to make 3D forms).

• Use liquid polymer clay to thin out your lump clay for ‘polymer painting’ projects.

• You can tint your liquid polymer clay with mica, acrylic paints, pastels and alcohol inks. Remember though, that alcohol ink is not lightfast and the colour can fade over time.

• The main difference between Sculpey Clear and Translucent Liquid Sculpey? Clear is a transparent whilst Translucent is semi-transparent (it’s still quite opaque once baked).

• It is advisable to stir your liquid clay before use as it can separate (particularly the Sculpey Clear). Don’t shake it. Open the bottle and stir with a knitting needle, skewer etc.

• Liquid clay is great to use in moulds (check out the Sculpey jewellery moulds in store)

Hands up who signed up for restock notifications a

Hands up who signed up for restock notifications and got their polymer clay yesterday afternoon??

All orders received from yesterday up until 1pm today will go out today.
Thank you all once again for your support.

This was such a small order compared to what we have ordered/have an backorder but we should start to catch up again soon with the return of the Polyform (Sculpey) factory back to full capacity. There is another polymer clay drop due at the end of the month to the Australian distributor and I’m told it’s double the size of this one. The distributors rarely receive two shipments in one month so it is a testament to how hard they are working to secure clay for our country.

Again, please sign up for restock notifications if you’re wanting something specific. These people will always get notified automatically as soon as I load stock onto the website.

Thanks again so much for your support. I really do appreciate it!

- Dani

These beautiful pieces by @leannefergeusart are workshop examples from our ‘Inky Polymer Pendants’ workshop.

We’ve run this workshop a few times from the studio in 2019 (and it’s always sold out quickly!) and we not only had this one but also a follow up workshop scheduled for 2020. Like everything else this has been put on hold, however we are thinking that perhaps this should be our next Workshop in a Box collaboration (as soon as we can get together to record it!).

What do you think? Is this something you’d like us to put together?

In the meantime, don’t forget to check out our Workshop in a Box kits that are now available (anything out of stock will be restocked as soon as our polymer clay arrives!).
