Upcoming Workshops
Join one of our beginner-friendly jewelry-making workshops at The Makery in downtown State College.
Learn how to replicate the beauty of natural gemstones using polymer clay! In this session, we’ll master the art of color mixing, veining, and layering to create stunning, faux-stone jewelry designs that look just like the real thing. Once your custom "stones" are baked, we’ll reveal their true depth with sanding, buffing, and assembly techniques for a realistic, polished finish. You’ll leave with two custom pairs of earrings (or pendants) and the confidence to keep creating at home.
6:30-8:30pm

Embrace your inner dark academic and channel your inner witch—just in time for Halloween!

You’ll leave with at least two custom pairs of earrings (or pendants) that cast a spell on any autumn outfit, plus the skills to keep brewing up creations at home.
