Step into an afternoon of creativity, beautiful materials, and the joy of making something entirely your own. Under Diane's expert guidance, you'll discover the art of creating faux-stone jewelry using polymer clay, transforming simple materials into pieces inspired by the depth, movement, and natural beauty of semi-precious stones.
The magic begins as you blend three colors of clay with your choice of decorative elements, including shimmering mica powder, delicate metal leaf, glitter, or paint. Layer, mix, and shape your custom clay slab, then reveal the unexpected stone-like patterns hidden within. No two designs are exactly alike, and that's part of what makes the process so special.
As your designs take shape, you'll learn how to refine your pieces and finish them with a glossy UV resin coating that adds depth, dimension, and a beautiful, polished
sheen. Complete your jewelry with your choice of sterling silver or gold-plated sterling silver hypoallergenic earring hooks for a sophisticated finish.
You'll leave with at least one pair of custom earrings and a coordinating pendant, each reflecting your own color palette, creative choices, and personal style. These are pieces you can wear, gift, and enjoy knowing you made them yourself.
This is more than a jewelry workshop. It's an opportunity to learn an artisan technique, explore your creativity, and spend time doing something that feels both inspiring and indulgent.
Whether you gravitate toward soft neutrals, moody marbling, delicate metallic details, or bold statement colors, you'll have the freedom to create something that feels like you.
And, of course, the experience is part of the magic. Expect a welcoming, thoughtfully curated Brush & Bloom atmosphere where you can slow down, connect with other creative women, and enjoy the simple luxury of making something beautiful with your hands.
