Petra - Polymer Bead Artist
Petra has been working with polymer clay for 12 years. She was fortunate enough to be one of 12 selected artists in a juried exhibiton of Polymer clay beads and this resulted in her starting her business, Zigzag Polymer clay supplies.
Although she now has little time to create she has found some to develop working miniature lamps for dolls houses.
She recently also managed to find some time to produce some work using translucent clays and metallic clays.

Karyn Flanagan - Fun Name Pins
Karyn took over over a well established polymerclay badge business from a close family friend in 1995. The badges made their beginnings in about 1975 from just round polymerclay disks with names on. Plain animal brooches were also made and eventually the two ideas were combined to the make the fun badges. Karyn's interest has grown since the formation of the Guild and she is the Editor of our "little" but full newsletter. Karyn's badges are worn by many nurses, receptionists, children and teachers and can be seen by clicking here.

Nina Klauke - Polymer Artist
Nina says " I began claying in 1996 trying to come up with an alternative to fabric bows on terra cotta pots which were popular at the time. My Designs range in sizes, themes and colour, from cat's watching sunsets, fairies tending to plants, butterflies resting on a flower or pigs sitting under a tree smelling a flower. The designs are created and baked and later glued onto a painted and varnished pot. Little did I know in '96 that a simple idea would take over so much of our house and spare time, but let's face it I wouldn't have it any other way." Visit Nina's work
