On one Wednesday each month, MAD opens its studios for a hands-on workshop with the pros! This is the perfect opportunity to learn a new technique or hone your D.I.Y. skills, creating a unique object to give or cherish.

This month was an exciting adventure in the world of polymer clay with artist Carole Cohen. Participants learned various techniques in polymer clay, a low-firing and versatile sculpting compound that can be molded into limitless figures. Each participant created their own pendant or brooch while exploring the unique properties of color and texture of the polymer medium. All materials were provided. This workshop was particularly popular with MAD Museum members, and SOLD OUT within 2 weeks of its announcement.

Carole Cohen has been working with Polymer Clay for over 15 years. She has studied with Victoria Hughes and Pier Voulkos and has taught workshops for students of all ages in New York City and Long Island. Thanks to our enthusiastic workshop participants, to Carole for all her hard work, and everyone @ MAD who helped to organize this wonderful wednesday workshop.
