The primary medium I use in my work is polymer clay. It’s a pvc-based clay that is ‘cured’ when baked at between 230-250C. In the twenty plus years I’ve been working with this medium, I’m continuously fascinated by its versatility. It is because of this, that I am able to use a myriad of techniques including stamping, sculpting, and painting to create my whimsical works of art.
My favourite technique to use with polymer clay is ‘millefiori’ - a ‘thousand flower’ in Italian. This term was borrowed from the Venetian glassmaking technique. I stack different coloured clays into a ‘cane’ or roll, so that when cut into slices, the picture or pattern runs right through the entire cane. I describe this as a combination of painting and sculpting. This allows me to explore and experiment with multicolour, which is my passion. Since I ensure that each cane has totally composition, which is impossible to duplicate, all resulting work is one of a kind
