"We are all irretrievably addicted to playing with, creating with, holding, looking at, smelling and developing new ideas with polymer clay..."
We're a group of girls from the UK who met through the lovely Cindy Lietz's site and decided we had to meet in person! We did just that in October 2009 in Manchester and had such a great time talking clay that we decided to create a blog in order to share ideas, tips, inspiration and general cool polyclay-related good stuff with the world.
Signed up so far, in alphabetical order:
Penny I discovered polymer clay only a year ago, and have been researching the topic systematically ever since, and of course learning the techniques. I wake up thinking ‘colour’ these days. I realised very quickly however that whilst I am a capable crafter (I have been a craft teacher for 40 years or more) I haven’t the flair that others have – so decided to sell the spades to the gold diggers! Hence my new website www.clayaround.com. You all need clay – and I have got it! What is good however, is I have learned so much about the craft in my research in the last year that I reckon to be a ‘theoretical expert’ who can answer most questions.
In my other life I am an NLP life and confidence coach: www.learntolearn.co.uk – rather different don’t you think?
Silverleaf (me!) I describe myself as having the brain of a scientist and the heart of an artist. I've been claying for 14 months and I mostly make jewellery - I seem to be constantly searching out new techniques and experimenting with them, so every piece is unique! I also knit little cuddly hedgehogs to raise money for hedgehog rescue charities.
When I'm not claying I enjoy singing (I'm in 3 choirs), growing organic veggies, cooking and baking, birdwatching, roleplaying games (like Dungeons and Dragons), geocaching and rehabilitating sick and injured wild hedgehogs.

Stick around, we're fun! :)
