About My Classes  
Learn this exciting new technique I've developed for creating tactile two-dimensional art using polymer clay, acrylics and alcohol inks! 
I am excited to share this unique technique of working with polymer clay with you. Plan on going home with a beautiful polymer clay collage that you have created yourself to hang on your wall, one or more "canes" to play with and an assortment of clay sheets to get you started on your next piece.
