Polymer Clay Faux Black Opal Tutorial (Digital Download)

$35.00

Leanne Fergeus is the creator of the ‘Black Opal’ technique.
She adores real opal and wanted to create her own unique faux version from polymer clay.
She has spent many, many months experimenting and developing this technique to make it as realistic as possible.
It was one of the most popular in person workshops we’ve ever run here at the Studio in over 15 years and we are excited to now be able to offer it as a digital tutorial due to popular demand.

In this digital tutorial, Leanne and Dani will demonstrate not only how to create Leanne’s beautiful, unique faux black opal from polymer clay but also how to bake/cure your pieces, finish your pieces and make them into jewellery.

This project/technique is suitable for people of all skill levels – even beginners!
