You will create three veneers for three different types of pendants. We will then explore creating three different types of polymer clay bails allowing you to string your projects on neck wires or cords of your choice. My signature “Easy Back”Bail allows you to easily change pendants between different chains or neck wires. We will also cover the sanding and finishing of all three pendants. The materials and tools for these projects are all basic items that most polymer clayers have on hand.

Other techniques you will learn include antiquing, simple caning, and Coptic stitch binding.
