I am sorry that during the current circumstances, my shop is closed. This will continue until Government advice no longer requires us to stay home.
Here are some things just listed by other crafters and sellers on Folksy.
I make a range of colourful jewellery items including statement necklaces, drop and stud earrings, brooches and shawl pins using polymer clay.
Polymer clay is a fantastic media for jewellery because it can be mixed to create an infinite number of colours, and it’s extremely lightweight, making it comfortable and easy to wear. I was introduced to it on a jewellery making course and it was my ‘lightbulb moment’! As a child, I always loved pattern making and have a background in graphic design. With polymer clay, I found I could now create patterns and turn them into jewellery.
These days, I spend most of my time in my garden studio, either working on my own designs or teaching workshops through West Country Creative. My collections start with drawing, so I can record my ideas, and then I’ll mix the clays until I have a palette that I’m happy with. I’ll develop the surface decoration, either by building a pattern into the clay or by adding other media which might include foils, pastels, paints or alcohol inks depending on the technique I’m working with. The variations are endless and I love that there is still an element of surprise and ‘happy accident’, making so many of my pieces unique and unrepeatable.
I hope you enjoy my work. Thank you for looking.
