5.0 out of 5 stars Beware! This DVD could be addictive!, April 24, 2006

This review is from: Polymer Clay Treasures with Lisa Pavelka (DVD)

You'll have to do what I did: drop everything, clear a space, go get polymer clay and dig out stamps and tins and pens and a lightbulb and go play for a few days! I simply couldn't just watch this and not jump in!
I am NOT a polymer clay person: I barely know how to roll out cookies, let alone polymer clay but my first project had everyone I know stopping me and asking where I bought it! I covered a tin with polymer clay and it was easy and I felt as if I really knew what I was doing by the time I was done. Lisa is easy to listen to, doesn't miss a detail and this DVD is great to show up close and personal how she does every step of a project. You get all the technical stuff and all the safety tips, too, as well as a nice variety of beautiful projects to try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Private lesson from Lisa!, June 3, 2006

This review is from: Polymer Clay Treasures with Lisa Pavelka (DVD)

If you've seen Lisa on Carol Duvall, you know that her projects may look complex, but her clear instruction makes her stunning artwork attainable by all. What I like about this DVD is that it has something for everyone.

Beginning clayers can easily learn about clay and work side-by-side with Lisa to understand the basics. Lisa takes you through clays, tools, work surfaces, baking, sanding and polishing, cleaning up and storage. After learning the basics, Lisa will take you through six very beautiful projects that will allow you to go at your own pace and achieve the results you want.

While beginners will enjoy this DVD, experienced clayers will love her projects as well as pick up some tips and tricks in the introductory section. I always find something new in even the most basic instructions, and this DVD is no exception.

This is a great DVD for all levels, and a great way to have a private lesson from Lisa in your own home.

This review is from: Polymer Clay Treasures with Lisa Pavelka (DVD)

I feel Lisa did a fabulous job on this DVD and I highly recommend it. I have been working with polymer clay for over 14 years and I still learned about different products, a few tips, and techniques which I am dying to try. Lisa does a great job covering the basics of working with polymer clay including the necessary tools and then goes on to show and explain in great detail how to create a variety of fun projects. Also included is a gallery of her work that pertains to the projects taught.
