FAQs
Do I need any experience to join the class? Not at all! Our classes are beginner-friendly and fun for all skill levels. We'll guide you through every step — no prior experience needed.
What will I make during the class? You'll get to create between 1–3 finished pieces depending on what you design. Complex designs will take more time and result in less created pieces. You can make dangle earrings, pendants, keychains, bookmarks, or drink charms. (We don’t create studs in this class.)
How long is the class? Each class runs for about 3.5 hours, giving you plenty of time to design, bake, and assemble your jewelry. You may go over this time if you create complex designs that delay the baking process, or if you create too many designs for the allotted time. If you run out of time, you may be required to come back for a follow up visit to assemble your remaining pieces.
Is everything provided? Yes! We supply all tools, clay, findings, and accessories. You just bring yourself (and maybe a friend!).
Can I bring my own design ideas? Absolutely! We love when students come in with creative inspo. We’ll help you bring your vision to life using our materials. If you have an idea coming into the class, we suggest you let us know so we can prepare to help you create your chosen design. You can email us at hello@bougierougeboutique.com.
Can I take my jewelry home the same day? Yes! Your pieces will be baked, finished, and ready to wear or gift by the end of the class. If you are unable to complete your project(s) prior to the end of class, you may have to pick up your completed project or book a follow up visit to finish your project.
Is the clay safe for sensitive skin? We use high-quality Sculpey Premo, Sculpey Souffle and Cernit polymer clay and cadmium & lead free, 18K gold-plated or real platinum plated brass or 304 stainless steel hardware whenever possible — great for most skin types.
What should I wear? Something comfy! Aprons are provided, but clay can be a bit messy, so best to avoid white or delicate clothing.
Can kids join the class? Most evening classes are designed for ages 14 and up. Please look for age limits on the individual classes. Classes are either 14+ or 10+. Children between 10-14 must be accompanied by a participating adult.

About Our Classes
Making Jewelry is a fun filled and beautiful process, best shared with friends. Prior to booking your upcoming class, here is some information you should know.
Location
Please ensure that you make note of the location of the class you are choosing. Classes can take place in our Bougie Rouge Boutique/Studio in downtown Edmonton, or at Whimsical Vintage Creations in Stony Plain. Our Boutique/Studio address is 11223 100ave, Edmonton Alberta (Bougie Rouge Boutique Lower Level). Access to our class studio is via our side door accessible from 100ave, on the East side of our building.
Skill Level
All classes are scalable to each participant. The attendee can choose their projects from an assortment that range from beginner to advanced.
What can you make?
Polymer Clay can be used to make earrings, necklaces, brooches, pins, bookmarks, trinket trays, keychains, bracelets, rings, photo frames and so much more.
Each class is themed, and participants can choose their projects based on their skill level, and desired outcome for the course.
What is included in the class?
All you need to bring is yourself... and maybe a friend. We supply the tools, materials, and experience to aid you in creating some whimsical and fun accessories.
Each participant will have the option to make up to 10 accessories, depending on the size and complexity they choose. There is 1 hour provided for designing and sculpting projects, 1 hour for baking, and 30 minutes for finishing and cleanup.
During our 1 hour bake time, attendees can shop our boutique, or chat while they sip and snack on the light refreshments we provide.
What types of products are used?
The products and tools used in classes are the same that I use when creating my own jewelry lines. Our metals are gold plated or platinum plated brass or stainless steel. Our clay is Sculpey Premo, Sculpey Souffle or liquid Sculpey.
Class Length
Our classes range from 3-3.5 hours. For polymer clay classes, there is 60 minute bake time that takes place during the class. We fill this time with supplementary projects and the ability for our guests to shop in our boutique. We recommend that guests do not leave the boutique during this time, as we can not provide additional time after the class to finish projects.
Second, some artists love to add additional details to their creations and take a little extra time. In these cases, we recommend that the artist books an additional time to complete their project. To do this, we request you book a open studio space.
Refreshments & Food
We stock a variety of non-alcoholic beverages for our artists. If you have any questions, a special event, or request, please email us or fill out our contact us form. In addition to refreshments, we often have little treats around the boutique. We keep eating to a minimum during classes as it posses a threat to contaminating our works of art. Food options are available for private parties. If you have a special need, please contact us to learn more about how we can assist you.
Age Requirement
Most classes utilize technique levels that are suitable for those 14+. For those under 14, we recommend purchasing one of our at home kits. Polymer clay does not harden until it is baked, allowing young artists to take their time and build new skills.
Parking
Parking is available behind our building. We ask that you enter our parking lot from 100ave, and exit using the back alley. In the event that the parking lot is full, there is street parking on 113th street.

Our classes are located in Bougie Rouge Boutique. This is a character home and unfortunately does not have wheelchair access.
