About the Artist: Donna Baratta
My fascination with color, texture, and form in infinite combinations lead me to my passion: creating hand crafted, wearable art jewelry from polymer clay and beads that are embroidered and woven. This mixed media approach allows me to continue learning and exploring new possibilities with each block of clay and every stitch.
Donna is currently teaching classes in polymer clay, bead weaving, and bead embroidery at local art leagues. She holds BS, MS, MA, and Ed.D. degrees and continues to practice life-long learning.
