About the Artist: Gayle Heinemann
I can't remember a time when I wasn't creating something....layouts of the apartment I lived in as a child, portraits of my mom and dad for Parents' Day at school, or creating baking recipes with my grandmother. "Making" has always been important to me. The patterns in my work are influenced by nature. Color ways are often derived from my travels. I am recently retired from a 30 year career teaching art , and am enjoying every minute of creating my own artwork in polymer clay.

About the Artist: Ivana Brozova
My name is Ivana Brozova and I am from Czech Republic. I sell all my products under the brand Ivabro. I was enthralled by polymer clay more than 10 years ago. Wearable art like jewellery, dominates my work, but I also like to play with the Three Dimensional Art. I like to combine polymer clay with other materials. My jewellery is always created as originals or it is made only in a few pieces of a similar design.

About the Artist
Martina Buriánová - Marabu šperky - I create jewelry that is distinctive, original and sought after for its unmistakable handwriting. I have been building my brand for five years and I am still fascinated by the thousands of ways to transform polymer clay into elegant jewelry. My target is for each piece of jewelry to reflect the uniqueness of its wearer, so you won't find two of the same.The jewelry that leaves my workshop must be one hundred percent and precise. My jewelry is decorated by women in different parts of the world, and in others I try to mediate my work also through tutorials and lessons. I have also had several exhibitions. I taught at foreign and domestic workshops and my instructions were published in several printed and electronic media.

Location
Bolton, Vermont
United States
About the Artist: Mags Bonham
I am basically a self-taught artist who has be working in polymer clay for over 20 years. Living in Vermont provides an unlimited source of inspiration. Nature's ever changing beauty and majesty constantly influences my work, either in design, theme, or coloration. I love hidden treasures, secret compartments, and themes that touch the child in all of us. The one theme that is a constant in my work is function. Most pieces serve some type of function, and many perform more than one. My work is constantly evolving because I am always exploring and experimenting with the properties of polymer clay. I use digital cutters in some of my work and I teach introduction to polymer clay classes at Silhouette conferences. I frequently teach online at Craftcast.com about how to use technology as a tool for polymer clay with both design and creation.

Engraved Faux Ivory Container
This container is constructed from faux ivory clay. The designs have been designed and engraved using the Silhouette Curio machine. I created faux versions of lapis, jade, & turquoise to be inset into the lid of the container. The container is cured in multiple steps and sanded & polished to replicate the real versions of the gemstones recreated in polymer.
