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.

Format: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!

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.

Not as good as other Donna Kato's books
Obviously this was the first book published by the author, I personally prefer the latest. Good book for beginners in clay work and bead making.

Excellent all round book on polymer clay

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

Wow! How to "everything" in one book.
It's hard to believe that polymer clay can do all these things and that you can find the directions all in one book. The pictures are fantastic!
