Polymer Clay
The Adventure
is back.Art retreats for clay makers — three online seasons you can join from home, plus intimate in-person experiences when you want to pack a bag.
The adventure returns
You asked for it.
Here we go again.
Polymer Clay Adventure ran from 2015 to 2021, bringing together more than 2,000 clay makers from around the world for years of learning, creating, and genuine community. When we mentioned it was coming back, the response was instant. We heard you.
PCA has always been something different. Not a free summit. Not a scroll-through content dump. A real, curated art retreat experience — the kind that actually changes how you make things and who you make them with.
This time, we have evolved. Three distinct seasonal retreats, each with its own theme, its own energy, and its own creative world to step into. All from home. All on your terms.
Where it all began
"I have really missed the Polymer Clay Adventures and would love for them to come back. I learned so much from them."
— Sylvia
"Kira, yes, please bring back the Adventure. I was a member of each and every one. It is what worked best for me — I could work it around my schedule and I could afford it."
— Rebecca
Online art retreats
Your studio. Your couch. Your people.
The best part of an art retreat is the making and the community. The worst part is everything else — the flights, the packing, the hotel rooms, leaving your pets and your family behind, the expense of it all just to get there.
PCA was built on a simple idea: what if the retreat came to you? No travel. No worry. Just show up with your clay and your favorite mug, and be part of something wonderful from wherever you already are.
2026 Season Lineup
July
Enchanted Summer Camp
A week of cottagecore and fantasycore clay magic. All projects unlock on day one.
September
The Gathering
Six weeks of fall decor, gift making, and woodland magic. Plus a secret 13th project.
January
Blooming with Love
Six weeks of hearts, flowers, and a community art swap — ending with a Galentine's Day party.
In-person retreats
When you do want to pack a bag.
Sometimes the magic happens when you are in the same room as your people — hands in clay, music playing, laughter everywhere. Kira hosts intimate in-person retreats for makers who want that full immersive experience. Small groups, beautiful settings, unforgettable weekends.
Signature Event
Clay Play Stay
Kira's signature in-person retreat — an intimate, immersive weekend of clay making, community, good food, and the kind of creative energy that only happens when passionate makers share a space. Small group. Big memories.

Something's Coming
Polymer Clay Adventure in Paradise
In 2017, we took PCA to a stunning mansion in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It was magical — and people still talk about it. We are not saying anything yet, but we are absolutely thinking about it again. Watch this space.
