Excited to learn new techniques, create wonderful projects with polymer clay, and meet with clayers in our community from the comfort of your home? Join us for the second Polymer Weekend, an online event full of surprises!
Let's bring together polymer enthusiasts, students, and experts from all over the world to enjoy a weekend filled with engaging workshops, discussions, and learning experiences.
NOVEMBER 23 - 24, 2024
We put our heads together with the Fimo team and organized a two-day online event where six experienced teachers will lead a live polymer clay class, lasting approximately 60 to 90 minutes. These classes are intended for observation, allowing participants to later undertake the full project at their own pace.
WITH 100 GOODIE BOXES
FOR OUR PARTICIPANTS
For the first one hundred participants who purchase a ticket with a goodie box, we’ll send a shipment filled with the Fimo polymer clay materials needed for the class projects, along with additional goodies that you can select individually from the Polymer Week store.
Shipping is free worldwide; however, please note that customs duties are not included and may vary based on your country.

Each class is approximately 60 - 90 minutes long. The entire event spans around 5 hours each day, with breaks between classes. We strive to make all classes clear and professional to ensure participants remain engaged throughout.
