About the Artist
Eli Collins-Brown has been working with polymer clay since 2009. She was inspired to explore this new medium after seeing Laura Timmins magnificent swirl beads at an art show. She started exploring the endless possibilities with polymer and hasn't stopped discovering new ideas and techniques. Eli is a part-time artist who works full time in higher education helping instructors design exceptional learning experiences. She brings her artistry into her job and her design process into her art. She is stretching into selling her work in her online store and most recently with her 3D printer making clay cutters and textures.
