Basic Spliced Cane

I am a single mom with two teenage boys. I work in an office full time and fit my clay around that, Little League games, football games, gaming conventions, computers and painting miniatures with my older son. I was an art major in college but was mostly into printmaking which was difficult to fit around kids. Poly clay was a great discovery for me…I found a Klutz book with Sculpey samples, tried to get the boys interested, but they were at an age where all they were interested in creating were phallic symbols. I said fine, but you´ll have to bake it yourself! I have been claying for a couple of years, but really took off after taking a week long workshop with Pier Voulkos (my first and so far only poly clay class) last summer. This year, I will be returning to Split Rock Arts for a weeklong workshop with Lindly Haunani!
