Summary of Polymer Clay for the first time (For The First Time)

Readily available, inexpensive, and easily manipulated, polymer clay is an ideal beginner's medium, and Syndee Holt does an admirable job of introducing it. She sets the stage with background on materials and basic handling, then presents 27 approaches and variations as a series of questions on technique whose answers are full-fledged projects. "How do I make a pinroll cane?" for instance, explains a simple cane process and uses it to cover a candleholder. Other cane methods yield jewelry, a frame, a barrette, drawer pulls, and a covered pen, utilizing both basic canes (bull's eye, banner, checkerboard, blended) and pictorial types (flower, millefiori, star, face, shaman). The final section focuses on molds and textural effects such as metallic and rubber stamp effects to produce brooches, light switch covers, a box, and coasters. Most of the designs are fairly ordinary and there are certainly more exciting books on polymer clay, but this one does provide a thorough, easily understood introduction to this popular subject. --Amy Handy

"As a serious craft medium [polymer clay] requires knowing some basic techniques. These are covered in great detail with excellent photos...Beginners will find many of their questions answered... Recommended."--Library Journal

No experience is necessary--with every beginner's question answered, you'll soon master the basics of polymer clay, and its unique traits and teachniques, from a perfect pinroll to heat-embossing powders. Novices will become pros in no time.
