I love working with Polymer Clay and Mokume Gane is my go to technique. However, I found I was creating colours and veneers but couldn’t always remember how I’d made them!

I’ve put together this booklet to … Continue reading Polymer Clay Mokume Gane Workbook

I’ve had lots of failures and lots of muddy brown lumps of clay but feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There are two basic types of this technique- one where you make impressions in a stack of clay and … Continue reading Polymer Clay – Mokume Gane
Polymer clay is a great medium to work with. There are literally hundreds of tutorials on the internet which will give you inspiration. I love the Mokume Gane method and explain a bit more about it in this earlier blog post. I’ve found using stamps and scraps gives me the freedom to experiment on small pieces of clay. I tend to make ‘veneers’ with scraps … Continue reading Making Artwork from scraps
