Course Description:
In the country kitchen grandma is making pasta... today handmade fettuccine for dinner! On the table there are also vegetables from the garden, the pasta sauce, and fresh bread from the bakery.

Students will make all the realistic food required to fill this table, including vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, aubergines, leeks, and beans; pasta sauce and pasta; and bread, flour, and eggs. In making these items, students will learn how to use polymer clay with advanced techniques as: spotted canes and skinned shades; texturing the clay with other mediums; coloring with chalks; and using liquid polymer clay for special effects. Furthermore, they will learn how to make the flour heap using wall plaster.

The instructor will provide some tools together with the table and the accessories used in the project; as well as printed directions to keep for future reference. During the class students will make enough items to fill the table and to bring home to use in other miniature projects.
