Art Class: Whimsical Keepsake Gnomes for Kids
Create a playful gnome together using colorful polymer clay and imaginative details in this art class.
In this fun adult-and-child art class, you’ll team up to sculpt an adorable polymer clay gnome that’s bursting with charm, whimsy and just a little mischief. Together, you’ll shape your gnome’s body, create magical flowers to decorate their signature hat and add fun accessories using colorful polymer clay. Go classic, go quirky or go full fantasy; this is a creativity-friendly zone. The best part? You’ll take your finished gnome home and bake it in your own oven to harden the clay, making it a lasting keepsake (and future plant guardian).
Important note: This class uses polymer clay, not ceramic clay. Polymer clay is a pre-colored, oven-baked clay that does not require a kiln and is perfect for detailed, playful creations. This is an adult-and-child class sold as a set of two. One ticket includes one adult + one child working together on their gnome masterpiece.

I took a polymer clay class with my daughter taught by Layl McDill, and it was a wonderful experience. Her class truly jumpstarted my career in polymer clay creations.

Instructor Layl began creating things at a young age and sought out to try mediums and art of all kinds, from oil painting to collage, sculpture and everything in between. She eventually fell in love with storytelling through her favorite medium, polymer clay. She and her husband opened their showroom and art studio where they get to live out their artistic dreams every day, and Instructor Layl is eager to share her creative passion with students.
