Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
When 'The Art Of Polymer Clay' very first appeared in 1997, polymer clay was undergoing a revival, but its full creative potential had yet to be explored. Author and artist Donna Kato helped change all that by introducing crafters to the vast range of polymer clay techniques, from millefiori to imitative to sculpture. With over 70,000 copies sold of the previous edition, and a growing legion of fans, Donna Kato has proven just how accessible and rewarding it is to work in this medium. Available in a tremendous array of colours and easily cured by baking in a home oven, anyone can create a variety of beautiful items. Today millions of people enjoy creating with exciting, easy-to-use polymer clay. It is now in a new format at an affordable new price. Updated information on clays, tools and supplies, conditioning and safety make this the definitive book in the field-and one that everyone can afford to buy and enjoy.
Amazon.com Review:
Available in a tremendous array of colors and easily cured by baking in a home oven, polymer clay is a unique medium for creating a variety of beautiful items. In The Art of Polymer Clay, noted artist Donna Kato explains the basics as well as many unusual techniques, including imitative methods that can be used to create the look of semi-precious stones, woven fabric, carved wood, metal, and realistic flowers. Kato's sense of style and colour is superb, and her directions are clear and concise.

This polymer clay book is an updated version of one Donna Kato did several years ago. This book is a wonderfully written and illustrated book about how to use polymer clay to make many things around your house. The steps are clearly explained with photos clearly showing each step. I wish all craft books were as well written and illustrated as this leading founder in the polymer clay industry is. 5 gold stars for Donna Kato!!!!

This book,in my opinion, is one of Donna's best. It has all the basics for beginners without the unnecessary "this is clay" boredom. After what I believe to be HONEST reviews of the top clays on the market today, she has READABLE instructions for many techniques. And if that is not enough, her projects are user /reader friendly. Her projects are nice, not like so many books with their "way out" ideas. If you are a beginner...This is the book to get you started. If you are intermediate, this is the book with new & fun lessons. If you are advanced, this is a good reference book and teaching manual. This is now my #1 reference book.
Life is too short not to have fun!
