A classic! Perfect, no matter what your skill level

I collect books on Polymer Clay Artistry and Beading, and this is one of the best of any genre. An absolute classic, suitable for beginners and more experienced clay artists. If you ever thought of Polymer Clay as a relative to Play-Doh, you won't after reading this lucious book.

Great!! But not for beginners!

It is a beautiful book to look at and to admire. But if you are a beginner I suggest going with "New ways with Polymer clay" and or "The polymer clay techniques book". The Techniques book is very helpful!! I loved this book but for now all I can do is look and dream.

You need this book !!!!

I love this book and I know you will too if you are into clay or just thinking about trying it. The projects are all wonderful, with easy to follow instructions. Everything to keep a beginner or an advanced clayer busy. Sarajane Helm out did herself this time. Can wait to see what's up her other sleeve.

Bravo, Sarajane!

This book is a treasure - elegant, informative and just plain beautiful. Sarajane Helm has outdone herself this time with a great introduction/basics section, clearly laid out instructions for projects and a stellar gallery of examples by many talented polymer clay artists, both established and up-and-coming. Beautiful photography throughout. Highly recommended.

Celebrations with Polymer Clay

All I can say is "fantastic"! This book is so well written it's the 2003 version of "New Clay" (which I considered "The Bible" of polymer clay) All of the projects in this book are new and well written, even a novice would be able to pick up this book and complete most of the projects. I also like how Sarajane shows how rubber stamps, cookie cutters, powders, etc., can be used to enhance polymer clay. My favorite sections are the color recipes, the stain formulas and the projects on how to make mini masks with rubber stamps.
