Product Description

Product Description

When "The Art Of Polymer Clay" first appeared in 1997, polymer clay was undergoing a revival, but its full creative potential had yet to be explored. Author and artist Donna Kato helped change all that by introducing crafters to the vast range of polymer clay techniques, from millefiori to imitative to sculpture. With over 70,000 copies sold of the previous edition, and a growing legion of fans, Donna Kato has proven just how accessible and rewarding it is to work in this medium. Available in a tremendous array of colours and easily cured by baking in a home oven, anyone can create a variety of beautiful items. Today millions of people enjoy creating with exciting, easy-to-use polymer clay. It is now in a new format at an affordable new price. Updated information on clays, tools and supplies, conditioning and safety make this the definitive book in the field-and one that everyone can afford to buy and enjoy.


About the Author

Donna Kato is known for her technical innovation with polymer clay and for her talent for presenting ideas in a clear and compelling manner, a frequent contributor to magazines and journals, she has participated in many gallery shows, including the Masters Invitational Polymer Clay Show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help at last!, 16 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art of Polymer Clay: Designs and Techniques for Creating Jewelry, Pottery and Decorative Artwork (Watson-Guptill Crafts) (Paperback)
As a craft instructor and a newcomer to the delights and discouragements of polymer clay, I needed HELP! Donna's book is that help. Donna covers it ALL from the different types of poly clay and their uses to tools and techniques; from beginner to advanced. Using the instructions in the chapter "Basic Canes and Loaves" I made my first loaf, a pinwheel design and from the loaf, created a miniature quilt in polymer clay! I felt like I was truly successful.... I've a long way to go but I'll keep this book in my craft book collection & recommend it to others interested in polymer clay. It is my standard reference on polymer clay!

5.0 out of 5 stars a great all rounder, 20 Aug 2004
By T. Grey "tanok8" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Art of Polymer Clay: Designs and Techniques for Creating Jewelry, Pottery and Decorative Artwork (Watson-Guptill Crafts) (Paperback)
Having dabbled with polymer clay for some years I felt I needed a boost and this book was it, a wide variety of well explained techniques and clear photos. Drawing techniques from glassworking to carving to create beautiful finished pieces and packed full of hints and tips that will start the novice on their way without the usual pitfalls, and cause even the seasoned polymer fanatic to go haring off to their craft box to try new things.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor book
Not what I expected at all. As soon as I thought I had got into one aspect of the craft, the writer goes off on a tangent and starts promoting her own products. Read more
