Member Interview - Clay Chic
Who Inspires You?
My very first inspiration was a clip I saw of Donna Kato on the Carol Duvall show. Now there are so many talented polymer clay artists out there and I am inspired by them all. I love to browse the internet and see what new things are being done with polymer clay.
What Inspires You?
I am most inspired by jewelry magazines and trying to incorporate my polymer clay with new jewelry designs. I also like to go to the fabric store and look at all the colors of fabric and how they work together. I also have gotten as many polymer clay books as possible to learn techniques.
Where do you create?
I have a great space for my studio. I have a huge laundry/mud room and one whole side is my studio. It has a built in counter space and wall to wall cabinets for all my “must have stuff” and I have a gorgeous view of the mountains out my window, we live in Western Colorado. It is a great space for creation.
How long have you been working with polymer clay?
I have only been working with polymer clay for about 5 years now. I have always love to do crafts, sewing, stenciling, etc. Once I got my hands on polymer clay I was hooked. I am self taught (we live in a pretty remote area and have to depend on the internet and books) so I still have a lot to learn but I am so glad I have found such an awesome group of people here at PCAGOE!
