Glass Attic
. . . If you're new to polymer clay --or just want loads of info about it--
you may be interested in my polymer clay "encyclopedia," a website I call Glass
Attic.
So far there are over 90 categories ( 1300 pages) of information relating
to all of the polymer techniques I'm aware of, in addition to info about tools,
supply sources, solving problems, and more.
(I also have categories on the business end of polymer, doing shows & demos, and
teaching, as well as on photographing polymer items and on inspiration &
creativity.)
Each of the categories contains many links to photo examples, and often to
lessons as well. (At the bottom of the home page are instructions on how to
search for any subject or word at my site; most of the "lessons" can
also be found using that search feature and the word LESSON.)
The Glass Attic category called "General Polymer Clay Information" gives a sort
of overview of polymer clay (local and online polymer groups, *many* uses
of polymer clay, some helpful websites, and where to find even more
information.). It's a good place to start.
