Im Very excited to try this medium
Very good class with lots of information. I have been working with polymer clay for years, and have just recently discovered epoxy clay. Thank goodness because I was starting to feel stale with the polymer. Thank you Debbie for the great tutorial. My only suggestion would be changing the camera angles...several parts were difficult to follow due to bad camera work. Other than that I will definitely recommend to friends.
Tons of great instruction
This is an excellent course, chock full of really good tips and inspiration. I can't believe how much instruction you get! Debbi is a great teacher who obviously knows her stuff, and you end up with lots and lots of great ideas, and an eagerness to get going on your own stuff!
Unique class
Debbi is an excellent instructor and has shown that expoxy clay is a unique substance that has endless possibilities. I very much enjoyed each class and will incorporate it into my beading projects as it allows for more creativity. Thank
you craftsy.

this class is wonderful. Love the instructor and she went at a great pace for someone who is new to this clay adventure. I love this epoxy clay. I need a lot more practice but it's fun.
Awesome!
Thank you so much for this class. Informal, yet very professional.
