"A thousand and one ideas for making beautiful polymer clay millefiori. In Venetian glassmaking, slender rods of molten glass are shaped, then cut to reveal amazingly detailed patterns- flowers, geometric shapes, dancing colors. These slices are called millefiori, ""thousand flowers,"" because they form a carpet of flowers when placed side by side. Now celebrity author Donna Kato shows crafters exactly how to re-create these intricate, fascinating designs in polymer clay. The Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques reveals the entire process- how to work with the polymer clay, the basics of planning and creating a cane, and using color effectively. Dozens of canes, from simple to simply stunning, are included, and everything is clearly explained and illustrated with full-color photos, the Donna Kato way. Throughout the book, examples of stunning work by such millefiori artists as Kathy Amt, Pier Voulkos, and Kathleen Dustin provide inspiration. There must be a thousand ways to make beautiful millefiori . . . explore them all in The Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques."

Reviews for Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques, The

This little book is just as good as the predecessors - better in some way - and deals with a range of processes that are too often almost ignored. [The authors] concentrate on further and higher education, mainly on the latter. One of the book' strengths is that it looks fare wider than at the assessment of undergraduate course work and exam scripts. So there are tips on the assessment of theses, displays, portfolios and practical activities, and there's material on self-assessment and quality control. -- British Journal of Educational Technology
