Weds. 12/15 Polymer Clay Jewelry by AnnEnglish Designs

Lisa — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 23:59:26 +0000

Please join us on Wednesday, December 15 from 6-8pm for polymer clay jewelry by Jenny, the artist behind AnnEnglish Designs. Jenny has been creating jewelry since the age of 10 (she jokes she is an old lady at 25), and has done everything from flame worked glass beads to metal smithing. Self-taught, she is constantly looking for new mediums and dove headfirst into the art of polymer clay jewelry three years ago. Polymer clay has gained much respect as a medium in the past ten years, with juried and museum shows, and Jenny is constantly striving to expand on her techniques. Whimsy and sophistication are two hallmarks of her polymer work. She loves the sheer versatility of the clay and greatly enjoys seeing the look of disbelief on people’s faces when she tells them her pieces are made of polymer clay.
