This is a guide to creating artefacts with polymer clay. Polymer clay can be modelled, moulded, carved, woven and turned on a lathe, yet it never chips, fades or shrinks. It thus provides endless possibilities for craft ideas. After showing how to master the special methods for creating basic shapes, transferring images and creating moulds, the book shows how to make 26 featured projects. A gallery of work by different polymer clay artists is featured in the illustrations.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Only a few books have been published so far on polymer clay, one of the newest crazes in the craft world (see Nan Roche, The New Clay: Techniques and Approaches to Jewelry Making, LJ 11/1/95). Artists are now using it for sculptures, boxes, decorative household items, and traditional ceramic forms in addition to jewelry. Its bright color contrasts give a cartoon-like quality to many of the finished items. This book of basic techniques for molding, layering, and baking the clay offers 26 very colorful and whimsical projects, including buttons, beads, ornaments, and birdhouses.

This review is from: Creating with Polymer Clay: Designs, Techniques, Projects (Paperback)
This is one of the most inspiring books I have seen on polymer clay. It really does get my mind going with ideas and makes me want to get right to "work." It's clear and precise in instruction, as well as attractive to even look through. It's my favorite

Inspiring feast for the eyes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Creating with Polymer Clay: Designs, Techniques, Projects (Paperback)
Although Nan Roche's 'The New Clay' remains the standard in this medium, Ford and Dierks' 'Creating with Polymer Clay' is a feast for the eyes. Basic information on techniques and a project section are included, however, I would have preferred more of those beautiful gallery pictures
