A simple gnome design can be customized with anything you want to add, be it clay or other bakeable materials (metal, wood, glass). This class will require you to have an oven-bake polymer clay, but there are no additional required tools; you probably have stuff around the house, like toothpicks! Toothpicks make great tools! The first half of the class will cover the basic gnome creation, and the remaining time will be open for questions and making accessories. Oven Baking tips will be shared in class to ensure successfully cured gnomes! Recommended Supplies for this class: Clay: any oven-bake polymer clay. Sculpey and Fimo are quality brands, but even lower end clays work well for this project. 1/2oz white for the beard, 1/2oz skin tone color (head, nose, feet), 1oz color for body & hat (or 1/2 oz of two colors, if preferred) Here's a possible sampler kit you could purchase: https://www.amazon.com/Sculpey-III-Multipack-Classic- Collection/dp/B000XAUKZM Tools: surface: any clean, flat/smooth surface (glass, ceramic, acrylic, waxed paper) flattening (hands/fingers, rolling pin) poking (toothpicks, chopsticks, needles) slicing (razor blade, steak knife, craft knife, scalpel) The Basic Gnome in the attached image is what we'll be teaching.

Amber Dawn Bushnell You may notice some slight tweaks as we stroll into our third year. We’ve stayed in our location Rachel Crowell at The Conference Center, but the layout is a bit different. If you did not get a chance to find Anna Daniell gaming last year, you will definitely want to catch panels and gaming down on the lower level. AJ Dent Our first floor GeekGirlConnections room is right behind registration with tons of opportunity to Erin Doherty explore making a career out of your geekery. Our Artist Alley is perfectly situated on the second Sarah Grant floor as you ascend to the Exhibitor Hall and panel rooms. Kristine Hassell Some things have not changed. If you support our mission, you are welcome here. There is still Richard Lee no “geek cred” required. All genders, orientations, races, ethnicities, abilities, and fandoms are Cole Lundell invited. We remain committed to being an open, inclusive, and welcoming place for geeks of Laurel McJannet all types.
