==========
You'll learn how to sculpt 2D polymer clay designs on pendants. And you'll learn how to make molds for your designs too.

What you'll learn
Make necklaces and pendants with 2D projecting animals and make their molds too.
Use polymer clay to make molds and be able to make replicates easily.
If you're a beginner you'll gain the basic knowledge about polymer clay first. That includes but not limited to; general properties about polymer clay, conditioning the clay, baking it, storage and safety issues.

Requirements
Using polymer clay and some tools you'll be able to make necklaces and pendants with 2D projecting animals and make their molds too.
A desire to make things by hand.
A willing to learn a new and a simple technique in jewelry design using polymer clay.
No prior knowledge is required.

Description
When I first sculpted an elephant pendant; like the one you can see when you preview the course video, I was so excited being able to make it out of such a raw material like polymer clay. But at the same time, I couldn’t imagine that I’ve to do the same work over and over again every time I need to make this same pendant for someone. So I needed to figure out how I can repeat making a pendant like this with minimum effort and time.

Then, it came to me the idea of making a mold out of the shape itself. And by doing so, I was able to make replicates out of the same shape easily and rapidly. And this is what I’ll teach you to do in this course.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to make three projecting pendants and their molds using polymer clay; a pendant with an elephant, a butterfly and a swan. And by making the molds, you’ll be able to make as much replicates as you wish in an easy and a productive way. Not to mention, that you’ll be able to apply what you’ll learn for making your own jewelry designs using polymer clay.

So the course will explain to you a three step process for designing a 2D projecting pendant;

first, making the original shape,

then making a mold out of it,

and finally making a replicate.

And before starting to teach you this process, I’ll give you the basic knowledge about polymer clay, so if you’re a beginner you’ll have it all in this course.

And if you’ve a prior knowledge about polymer clay, you can skip the introductory section of the course. And maybe you’d watch it later!

One final thing, this course is not like any other free online tutorials; as you’ll have my experience and all what I’ve learned from my mistakes, and that will save you much time and effort. Plus, you’ll have me answering all your inquiries.

I hope you’ll enjoy this course and find it useful. Now, preview some of the course's videos and if you have any questions you can send to me.

Who is the target audience?
Those who love to make things by hand. Or anyone who'd like to make jewelry to sell.
