- Welcome to Easy Clay Earrings: Advanced Techniques! I'm Kiley Bennett, and I'm that person who always has some crazy earrings on..
- In 2019, I taught a class right here on Skillshare called 'Easy Clay Earrings.' Since then, I've learned a TON... we're talking updated tools, better, more accurate information about how to properly work with clay, and a slew of really unique techniques that have people going 'how in the world did she do that?!'.
