Polymer Clay Projects
The polymer clay projects included here are relief sculptures that will help you see my messy process from idea to conception.
I am aware that there are artists who are neat and precise in their step-by-step instructions that help students arrive at specific results.
They offer templates and precise design plans to guide in every aspect of the work. My objective is different. The intention is not to offer instructions that you will duplicate precisely. Instead, I am convinced that you have a story to tell. The world needs your testimony, your unique point of view.
As a Christian artist, God has given you your own visual vocabulary. The more you work in the various media, the more aware you will become of it. Your tastes and preferences will surface. There will be colors that you respond to, or shapes that please you more than others.
Over time you will develop familiar themes and symbols that you find yourself repeating in your work. When telling your story to the world, think about and use naturally your personal, familiar, visual imagery.
I am also aware that the best learning is done watching the processes of other artists. The polymer clay projects shown here are for just that purpose.
I hope that you will not copy any of my work and reproduce it exactly. If you do so, do it to learn how, and do it to understand the mechanics of a work.
But after that, it is my prayer that you will use polymer clay to create your own wonderful works of art.
So read on, keeping in mind that your way of arriving at a satisfactory work of art, may be very different from mine. To see a picture trail of polymer clay projects, click on the links below.
