INTRO VIDEO

How To Create The Look Of Real Ceramic Rainbow Raku With Polymer Clay

<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/110795928?app_id=122963" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowfullscreen></iframe>

In this 6 part video tutorial series, you will learn how to recreate the look of real ceramic rainbow raku, using polymer clay and some simple supplies. You will then incorporate your faux raku beads into a hand knotted, beaded macrame bracelet. Although this may look complicated, it really is easy to do. The end result is an organic and stylish looking jewelry piece, suitable for both men and women (depending on the findings you choose). Both the raku technique and the macrame can be used in other crafting projects as well, making this a very versatile polymer clay class to have in your “skills” tool box.

Love the color twist on the Faux Raku Beads. The macrame intrigues me also, as I have never done it. And learning to do it with a fantastic teacher (you Cindy), makes it even more exciting.

Cindy, I don't comment often, but wanted to say, You're the Best! I have just started my polymer clay journey (1 yr into this wonderful medium). You gave me my start, I'd love to meet you at one of the conferences and certainly want to give you credit for covering all beginner bases and then some. Thank you!

Very cool! Off to the playroom now to have some fun.

Cindy, I was expecting a lot after watching your great YouTube videos for a long time... and now that I have purchased some of your tutorials (including this Faux Raku one), I would like to say that I got more than I had expected.

Great to see a type of beads that can be used for the chaps!

Love this Raku video series, and wanted to add my thanks for the fantastic work you and Doug both do. In particular I love the way you not only demonstrate a new technique, with instructions for combining colours, but also put it to use with several great ideas plus a wonderful project!

What a fun project this is! I used to make raku pieces so this was a really neat idea. All the fun colors without the welders outfit, heat, and danger! It’s the first time I’d actually played with the pastels on the clay. I love it! I decided to make a necklace instead of a bracelet.

Thank you so very much. I am always telling people about what I have learned on your site and sent them the link to your site so they can enjoy your tutorials for themselves too.

Hi Cindy, I just watched the faux raku volume... and wow! I used to do raku and you really got the faux version down perfectly! Best wishes and thanks again for all of the care you and Doug put into this.

What you offer is really amazing and after being with you for over 4 years now I still can't believe how you keep coming up with new ideas! Amazing stuff, thank you Cindy.


~Marion-R

Cindy, your videos are not only informative, but you also make lots of difficult things look easy or at least possible to practice. You are a really awesome teacher and this is a rare skill. Interesting and original, too. I'll be back for more. Thank you.

I’d never done macrame before - so that was fun along with the Faux Raku. Although, I’m not sure macrame and I are ever going to be "good" friends. LOL. I didn’t have a board, but I clipped the end up high with a clamp, and secured the other end between me and the counter top. Worked pretty well.
