This is absolutely my new favorite video, and Christi Freisian is my hero. She's so funny, and also wicked good at teaching. Fantastic combination. Good on you Fire Mountain Gems!
Thanks Michelle! We love her too. We've got a ton of other Christi vid's on our channel so be sure to check those out too!

Heroine. "Hero" is masculine.
Super inspired by her!
This lady has a golden heart
She seems so kind!
Probably also polymer clay 😄
She is so good at what she does!
I just thinking about how much fun she would be to hangout with.
"Then someone gets hit in the head and then there's a lawsuit" I'm dying, I've never found a clay video that's this fun

Christi certainly has a unique way of teaching, and we LOVE it!
Super awesome that she is so humorous too.
HI EVERYONE!
i'm so delighted that you all are enjoying the video! ;-) thank you for all your wonderful comments - i always imagine the great internet world when i'm filming, so it's nice to know that's not entirely imaginary, hee hee.
Happy happy creating everyone!
:-)
Christi Friesen you give me so much life! I have been wanting to get into the polymer clay world for a while and watching many videos to learn more about it, I am SO happy I found this one, you are so helpful and energetic!
Christi Friesen Great video!! You do it thoroughly with just enough humor- dry, humorless videos suck, really. I've seen my fair share of them on RUclips! Thanks!
How long do u bake the clay for? And at what temp? Thank you :)
Your amazing. Lol thanks for showing us all.
I wasn't expecting to laugh out loud at a video like this. "As you can see, I've folded the part that sickens me out of my way..." LOL! What a fun video.
+Vienna Beck We're so happy you enjoyed it! Have a wonderful day!
Vienna Beck I liked it when she said you could build a fort lmao
Vienna Beck.... yes!! me too!!! hysterical!
that was my favorite part too
I laughed out loud at this too lmfao
I love her teaching style! Her style actually keeps my ADHD brain engaged and focused, which is a plus.
I just randomly clicked a polymer clay video to watch for inspiration, expecting an average stiff and technical instructional video like so many of these are, but I kind of fell in love with this! How can anyone be so entertaining and informative and funny at the same time? This is amazing!
So happy to have exceeded your expectations! There's no still and technical stuff when Christi is around lol.
I’ve watched over 1,000 videos on RUclips regarding clay jewelry and other techniques, and I’ve never been more intrigued than with this video. She’s funny, informative, knows how to speak to an audience, and gets to the facts quickly but still making it easy to follow! Thank you so much!
Yay! So glad you found Christi's enthusiasm for clay enjoyable. Be sure to check out her other videos, too, if you liked this one.
Normally I can’t stand to sit through tutorials for things, especially when I already have some experience in the subject matter, but you make it so fun and enjoyable.
"This is clay is an oven-curing clay, which means that it's not gonna dry out lying around in your house - unless your house is a thousand degrees." XD
Christi is quite the jokester lol
She's filled with lovable humor and I can't help but enjoy her presentation :D
"Filled with lovable humor" is the best way to describe her! So glad you enjoy her videos.
"Not my fingers, yours!" I sooo love your personality!!
Christi makes us giggle, every time.
OMG I'm so glad RUclips suggested this video. I love your personality
Hi Kiara. We're so glad you enjoyed the video! We love Christi's personality as well! - Amanda
Yeah super entertaining!
Lady, please never change, you are amazing!
"If it bursts into flames. Don't use that." - Pure wisdom xD

Rahma Elnhas clay d clay making old
Lol,,,I've put things in the oven with polymer, experimenting , and my sons ask...ummmm mom, is that safe.??! ....lol..I say yes ....but sometimes I honestly don't know. I just say ok, don't stand close to the oven ...
This is the first time laighing in the middle of a polymer clay tutorial lol🤣
Such a bummer :'(
My fav. line so far :D
I love this lady, getting started with polymer clay and I’ve just found the best teacher

"Keep the sharp edge away from your arteries." PAY THIS WOMAN MOAR MONEY! XD
This woman needs to do comedy. Her delivery is drier than wine and hits like a truck.
"If it bursts into flames... don't use it." SHE SHINES BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND.
Comedy is hard tho
It’s a good trait to have!
I have seen many videos ,,but your 's are real fun because of your sense of humor :) thanks a lot
You are the best teacher ever. Fun and informative. I love listening to you is so refreshing.
I'm a ceramicist of over a decade. Polymer clay has piqued my interest as of late but I'm used to kilns, glazing, etc. Similar, but different. So this is a perfect introduction! Thank you so much for this helpful guide!
Thanks so much for watching!
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs-down?? I found it not only informative but entertaining as well. Great presentation!
To each their own we guess lol. Thanks for the positive feedback!
Love Christi"s tutorial, fun, funny, helpful!

This is the best! She is so funny and light hearted!! I could watch a million 101’s from her!!!
I put a strip of pretty duct tape on the top of my blade. Nail polish works, too. If you tend to grab without working, this works to avoid the Dr. Such a waste of crafting time.
Those are great ideas!
And glitter... you can add GLITTER!
Very interesting and informative. Thank you
this tutorial was super hilarious and i learned a lot! your a great teacher Ms. Christi❤
