Special Youth Presentation--Making Apples and Cheese from Polymer Clay with Natalie Tolchin

Create Shares

This is a very special Create Shares presentation from one of NAME's youth members.  It's geared towards other youth, so bring your children, grandchildren, nieces/nephews, neighbors, etc.  But adults will like it too!  

From Natalie Tolchin:

My name is Natalie. I am a miniaturist with a special interest in miniature foods. I’ve been drawn to miniatures since before I can remember, and started making my own miniatures over two years ago at the age of 11. I specialize in 1:12 scale items using polymer clay and chalk pastels. 

In this session, I will demonstrate for a kid and teen audience how to make a miniature cheese and a miniature apple. I would love for you to work along with me!

For the miniature cheese, you will need:

  • white Sculpey III clay (or similar)
  • yellow Sculpey III clay (or similar)
  • a toothpick
  • optional: brown or red chalk pastels

For the miniature apple, you will need:

  • glow-in-the-dark Sculpey III clay (or similar) for the fruit (this is because it is a good color, not because we need this to glow in the dark)
  • brown Sculpey III clay (or similar) for the stem
  • a clay sculpting tool with pointed rubber/silicone end (important for shaping the apple and inserting the stem)
  • yellow, green, and red chalk pastels
