I hadn’t done much in the way of sculpture with polymer clay, except some small creatures made with my scraps (including the sleeping cats I have a tutorial for here) but during the Covid pandemic, I had a couple of opportunities to try out some sculpture workshops with some amazing artists and discovered I really enjoyed it!In December 2020 the British Polymer Clay Guild hosted a zoom workshop with Karen Walker making winter hares.

I decided to take part in #marchmeetthemaker instagram challenge this year and you can find my posts on Instagram and Facebook. I did try last year but I was far too busy with 2 events taking place in March (Nordic Poly Camp in Sweden and Polymania which should have been in Bristol but ended up being online at the last minute). If you want to know a bit more about me, about my values, some work in progress do go check out my social media.

I don’t do it every year but I do try to make a new...

Rainbows are a cheerful sign of hope during this strange Covid-19 pandemic. You can make your own polymer clay rainbows starting with a colourful rainbow cane. Here is my short video tutorial and the accompanying sheet which includes a circle guide.

Back in October 2019 I made a large cane using mainly blues and greens. I took slices of the cane in various sizes to make some jewellery. I finally got round to taking some photographs of the jewellery so here they are.
