TEEN HOUR: DIY Air Dry Fossil Necklace

🦴 Relics & Resin: DIY Fossil Necklaces

Capture a piece of prehistory and wear it home!

Ever wanted to carry a bit of ancient history around your neck? Step into the role of a paleo-artist at the Harrington Public Library for a hands-on crafting session. We’re using air-dry clay and high-detail molds to create one-of-a-kind fossilized jewelry that looks like it was pulled straight from an archaeological dig.

🏺 The Workshop

In this session, you’ll master the art of making faux-fossils that look incredibly realistic without the million-year wait.

The Impression: Use air-dry clay to stamp out intricate designs—choose from classic ammonites, trilobites, raptor claws, or even mysterious alien skeletal remains.

Aging Techniques: Learn how to use washes of paint and metallic pigments to give your clay the texture of weathered stone, petrified wood, or ancient bone.

The Assembly: Once your fossil is set, we’ll show you how to cord and knot your piece into a rugged, adjustable necklace or a statement pendant.

Bonus Challenge: Want to go rogue? Use our texture plates to create a fossil of something that shouldn't exist—perfect for fans of cryptozoology and weird legends.
