A five-Thursday series for adults in creating jewelry – or anything else – from polymer clay begins Oct. 8 and runs for the next four Thursdays. All classes are from 1 to 3 p.m. Participants will learn the basics of the medium and how to use it to "create anything you would ever want," said instructor Raeann Katz. Cost is $75 for the series, $67.50 for museum members.

A class in tie-dying is scheduled for 9 to 11 a.m. Oct. 10. It's open to anybody ages 10 and older. Participants must furnish their own garment or length of fabric to dye. Participants will learn several tie-dying techniques, then choose one for their project.

A three-Saturday class in polymer clay crafts for children is scheduled for 9 to 11 a.m. Oct. 10, 17 and 24. It's open to children ages 3 and older.
