'[Heaser] does a fine job of covering the basics before encouraging you to stretch you imagination a bit further.' Craftsman Magazine (Jan 2008)
Product Description
Polymer clay is one of the most popular and versatile mediums available to crafters, lending itself to a variety of applications ranging from decorative boxes, mosaics and miniature models to beads, buttons and jewellery. This comprehensive book features step-by-step instruction in over 50 techniques, including exciting ways to work with new materials such as liquid and metal clays. Large, clear photographs demonstrate basic skills such as rolling, colour mixing, marbling, and baking, progressing to more challenging methods of shaping, molding, and sculpting clay to make a wide range of projects. Create intricate patterns using millefiori techniques; embellish your work with metallic powders, gold leaf, stamps, and paint; choose from dozens of recipes for creating faux effects such as jade, amber, lapis lazuli, turquoise, antiqued metal, and mokume gane. All tools and techniques are clearly explained, and a gallery of work by internationally renowned polymer clay artists demonstrates what can be achieved and provides inspiration for your own work.

This book is an excellent aid for persons who use polymer clay. It gives precise and interesting instructions to use all different kinds of mediums in the art of polymer clay. As an artist myself I found it had lots of tips to enable the user to speed up the process of designing and decorating the clay in many different ways.
Thoroughly recommended to anyone who uses polymer and useful for the beginner as it also showed the ways in which you should begin to be creative with this medium.
Also very quick delivery and the book arrived in tip top condition.

I found this to be an excellent book especially for a beginner like myself. Broad range of techniques exlained in clear langauge and colour step-by-step photographs.The preconception of polymer clay for some people is that it is for children. The authour dispells that myth completely. It can only be classed as another medium for artistic expression and exploration.
Worth every penny.
