A CreateAlong Event
Polymer Clay Adventure
Enchanted Summer Camp
An invitation to teach
About the event
A paid, all-inclusive clay online experience built for Makers who love a little magic.
PCA Enchanted Summer Camp is an online clay art retreat centered on cottagecore and fantasycore themes. Think cozy woodland whimsy, enchanted botanicals, and the kind of handmade world you want to live inside.
Students purchase a ticket and arrive with a whole week cleared on their calendar. All projects unlock on day one so they can explore at their own pace, with evening co-working happy hours throughout the week and a closing campfire show-and-tell party to celebrate everything they made.
Why "not freemium" matters for you as a teacher
Every student in the camp has paid to be there. That means your affiliate link goes out to a warm, ready audience, not people who signed up for something free and may or may not be watching. Paid students engage more, make more, and share more. That is better for your affiliate earnings and better for the community you are building into.

The theme
Magical. Cozy. Handmade. Wonderfully Weird.
The heart of PCA Enchanted Summer Camp is that feeling of stepping into a world that is a little wild, a little whimsical, and completely handmade. We want students to spend a week inside that world making things that belong there.
Cottagecore + Fantasycore
Your project should feel at home in an enchanted woodland. Mushrooms, botanicals, dragons, butterflies, fairy doors, pressed flowers, folklore, woodland creatures, cozy magic, nature-inspired jewelry, whimsical sculpture, seasonal decor. If it makes someone want to move in, it belongs here.
Think: mice in teacups. Cats on sunlit porches. Dragons curled around wishing wells. Moths drawn to candlelight. Tiny libraries inside acorn caps. Whatever version of magical cozy summer lives in your imagination, bring it!
We'd love a wide range of projects
One of the things that makes PCA special is showing students how wonderfully versatile polymer clay is as a medium. We actively seek diversity across project types including jewelry, sculpture, decor, wearables, and functional art. All are welcome here.
The affiliate opportunity
Earn 45% on every ticket sold through your link.
Every guest teacher receives a personal affiliate link to share with their own audience. When someone buys a ticket through your link, you earn a commission, no cap, no tiers.
Affiliate commission
You share. We host + promote. They buy. You earn.
At $97 regular price that is $43.65 per ticket. At $67 early bird that is $30.15. Share your link, show your project, let your audience fall in love with what you are making. We provide custom graphics, a suggested caption kit, and your link before the sales window opens.
We maintain PCA videos on our own server, not YouTube, and still have our 2015 videos available when students ask for them. Our committment is to incredible customer care, including providing content to paying students over the long term.
What you will create
One substantial, exclusive project that fits the theme.
Your project should be genuinely new, not a condensed version of an existing class, not something already freely available on your YouTube channel or IG. PCA students arrive expecting content they cannot find anywhere else, and that standard is part of what makes the experience worth it to them.
Copyright remains with you, and six months after the event you may do what you wish with your class. Sell it alone, put it on your Patreon, or let us continue to market it for you at Polymer Clay Classroom for a 50% commission.
Pre-recorded workshop video
A full teaching video that walks students through the project start to finish, with enough depth and care that they feel genuinely guided. Quality production is appreciated; studio level is not required.
PDF supply list
A clear list of everything students need before camp begins. Include brands and helpful alternatives where you can. You may promote your own products and affiliate links.
Project photos
At least 2–3 beautiful photos of your finished project. These go on the sales page, in launch graphics, and in your promotional kit. Great photos help your affiliate link convert.
Exclusive content
Your project should not exist elsewhere online at the time of camp. PCA has always been built on content students cannot find on YouTube, and that matters to the community.
What you get in return
Exposure, community, earnings, and a really good time!
Being part of PCA puts your work in front of an engaged audience of polymer clay makers, many of whom will be discovering you for the first time. You are featured on the sales page and promoted across the CreateAlong email list (19,000+) and social channels throughout the entire launch window.
Email list exposure
Your project is featured to the active CreateAlong email community during the full launch window.
Your affiliate link
45% commission on every sale through your link. Custom graphics and a caption kit included.
Full camp access
You get access to every project in camp and all fellow teachers' workshops included.
A creative community
