We will create 4 different miniature Dragon Sculptures using Polymer Clay. Each lesson will have audio and video, along with step by step guides that are broken down into small segments. This starts as beginner level, then moves onto the next more intermediate level. We will create a Sleeping Dragon, a Standing Dragon, a Gemstone based Dragon, and a Water Elemental Dragon.

Supplies needed:

Polymer Bake Clay (any brand you prefer. I like to use Sculpey). *In total, approximately 1/2 of a 2oz. brick is plenty per dragon!* (a tiny bit goes a LONG way with miniatures!!)

Basic Sculpting tools, toothpick, smoothing tool

A Baking sheet (covered with parchment)

Cutting tool or clay knife

A non stick surface to work on (You can cover a piece of cardboard with parchment paper and tape it to the bottom…that works)

A small rolling pin

Variety of colors of polymer clay (whatever colors you want for your dragons)

Metal sculpting/jewelry wire or wooden toothpicks (to attach the head to body)

Note: I like to use Translucent polymer clay for wings and fins so they have a clear appearance, but that is optional.

Small GLASS beads or Crystals for eyes (for 3 of the dragons). I use 6.0 size seed beads. You may use clay if you cannot access these.

NO PLASTIC. We can only bake Glass, Wood, Metal and natural stone/crystal.

OPTIONAL: A glass marble, crystal, bead or stone (for weeks 2 and 3)

Aluminum Foil (for propping)

OPTIONAL:

Clear Water-Based Gloss Polyurethane, Mod Podge or Sculpey Gloss Glaze for after baking
