Dinner is ready on the garden table: bread and breadsticks, pickled olives, mushrooms in oil, cheese, salami, sliced watermelon, jam tart, and lemonade. Students will make all the realistic food required to fill this table; learning how to use polymer clays with advanced techniques as: caning, spotted canes, stacking layers and Skinned Shades; texturing the clay with other mediums; coloring with chalks; using resin to simulate liquids. The techniques and skills learned can be used in other miniature food projects.
