Class Description

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner and up

If you love creating bold, eye-catching polymer clay jewelry, this class is for you.

Over many years, I’ve continued to refine my folded bead technique, and in this class I’m sharing my simplest and most reliable approach yet.

Using just a few basic supplies, you’ll learn how to create beautiful three-dimensional beads and pendants with crisp, dramatic borders that perfectly frame your surface designs.

They’re lightweight, sculptural, and offer endless opportunities for creative expression.

The class includes nine easy-to-follow videos, printable templates in multiple sizes, and my step-by-step process for constructing these unique folded forms with confidence.

As a bonus, I’ll also teach you two simple but high-impact surface techniques that you can use immediately in your own work.

Whether you're new to polymer clay or an experienced artist looking for fresh inspiration, you'll discover a technique that opens the door to endless creative possibilities.

Your purchase entitles you to unlimited on-line views of the class. Your purchase can optionally also be downloaded for off-line access. 100% money back guarantee. 

My goal is to give you the best possible learning experience.

I hope you'll join me in my Big Bold Folded Beads class. 

One easy technique. Endless creative possibilities.
