Can the raw polymer canes be used to cover pen blanks, and could they be turned on a lathe?

Yes to both question. The Polymer Clay canes, once warmed, as per the instructions they arrive to you with, can be fitted around blank pen barrels. Once baked, according to the Manufacturer's instructions, They can either be sanded and polished, or, if you are an experienced Lathe user, turned on a lathe. Here is a useful video to watch by one of my customers, using the canes for the first time, to turn a pen barrel coated in Polymer Clay and Resin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBV1n3B_uOc&feature=youtu.be If you have any questions, or would like any advice, please ask me, I am happy to help.

What is Polymer Clay?

Polymer Clay is a man made sculpting medium that remains pliable until it is baked. It can be baked in a normal oven as it cooks at a low temperature. It is one of the few mediums where you can create a complex pattern in a ‘cane’ and reduce this to a very small size while maintaining the integrity of the pattern.

As a beginner will I be able to make anything using the tutorials?

I try to ensure that all my tutorials, unless I express otherwise, are suitable for beginners upwards. I include in one of the PDF Downloads tips and instructions for beginners on the basics of working with Polymer Clay. I hope that these will be sufficient to tell you all you need to know, but suggest that you contact me if you need to know anything else specific to the tutorial you have purchased.

How do you get the pattern in the clay?

I have various tutorials you can view online to show how the pattern gets within the clay. Here are a couple that you may enjoy watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkBt9yYT_ZA&feature=youtu.behttps://youtu.be/FWq2tZFHoxU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_7oT6tzDnw&t=88s

What do I do with a cane I bought from you which is unbaked?

There are many used for unbaked canes. Normally, after warming them gently with body heat for a bout 20 minutes, people take thin slices from the cane to lay together to form patterns. I have a video showing you what to do with your canes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPUdhRwzy04&t=5s. If you have any other questions about this, so send me a conversation.

Daisy Bead Tutorial, Polymer Clay PDF Tutorial, PDF Tutorial, Polymer Clay Tutorial.

This tutorial was created by me, using my own designs and process. I have been teaching polymer clay techniques for over 10 years, and this was one of my first workshops, but still remains popular with all students. Put into a PDF format, now everyone can make their own Daisy Beads, using my unique design for the underneath of the beads.

This tutorial is suitable for beginners upwards, although some experience with Polymer Clay would be an advantage. The tutorial takes you step by step through the process, over 13 pages, with 26 photos and covers all the individual stages from making the underneath of the bead shape, to the daisy flower. There is also a link to my video on conditioning clay for anyone new to that element of the process.

You can make these daisies out of any brand of Polymer Clay, and in any colour combination of your choice.

Please note, the photographs above show finished necklaces. These are for inspiration only, and the construction of a finished necklace is NOT included in this tutorial. This tutorial covers the construction of one design of bead only, with suggestions for how you can create more varied forms afterwards.

Great tutorial. Clear instructions with plenty of pictures. My Daisy didn't turn out quite as well as Fiona's but I loved making it and will keep practising!
