Polymer clay jewellery workshop in Faro at Arte e Cacos with Cecilia, a 3.5-hour beginner-friendly session where you learn the fundamentals of polymer clay modelling and create two pairs of your own unique statement earrings using two distinct styles and decorative techniques. All materials and tools are included, a light morning refreshment and drink are provided and you leave with two pairs of handmade earrings, the knowledge of two different design techniques and the confidence to continue creating at home. No prior jewellery or craft experience needed.

The session moves through the full polymer clay jewellery-making process step by step. You begin with an introduction to polymer clay and its properties before progressing through shaping and modelling techniques, creating textures and decorative finishes, and the sanding, assembling and finishing stages that complete each earring pair. Cecilia guides every stage with the same warm and creative approach that defines Arte e Cacos, a studio inspired by the beauty, colours and textures of southern Portugal where art, passion and craftsmanship come together to celebrate individuality and handmade design.
