HI CRAFTY FRIEND!

I’m Tracy & I can’t wait to share my love for polymer clay with you!

As a serial creative, I've tried everything at least once and have all of the art supplies to prove it. From illustration to jewelry and more I have been a creative entrepreneur for over 10 years and I’m just as excited now as the day I got my first box of crayons! For the past 4 years polymer clay has truly held my heart and I’m so excited to share all of my secrets & tricks with you.

I’m interested in making polymer clay flowers. Will that be at the workshop?
Making polymer clay flowers takes A LOT of practice so it will not be taught at the beginner workshop. However, I will be hosting more advanced clay workshops soon. So stay tuned!

Is this workshop accessible?
Polymer clay is a beginner friendly and accessible medium, however it does require the use of your hands and arm strength. I will be providing a pasta machine for those who may suffer from carpal tunnel, arthritis or other issues that affect strength in the arms or hands. I suffer from carpal tunnel myself so I understand how debilitating and discouraging it can be!

Every venue I choose to host a workshop in will be wheel chair and walker accessible. If you have any questions or concerns please email me: hello@yellowhouse.ca

Who may take part in Yellow House workshops?
My workshops are geared towards age 14+, however I will accept folks who are 12 + 13 years old with a guardian. I am planning to host special workshops geared towards younger folks in future, so if your little is under 12 years old please wait for that announcement!

Otherwise, ALL ARE WELCOME and I truly mean this. I want to ensure folks from all walks of life are comfortable in my workshops.
