Learn Cosclay with Gourd Flowers
Cara Bevan
A new clay has revolutionized sculpting Cosclay, the flexible clay! This polymer clay is unlike epoxy or paperclay in that once it is baked, it can flex and bend like rubber. This means you can sculpt thin and fragile things and they won’t break. I’ll teach you how to use cosclay with gourds while we make delicate flowers, leaves, and vines. We’ll be baking the clay during the class so you can complete a couple gourd flowers and several other clay items you can add to gourd art later. Once you know how to use cosclay, anything will be possible!
