In Venetian glassmaking, slender rods of molten glass are shaped, then cut to reveal amazingly detailed patterns: flowers, geometric shapes, dancing colours. 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 colour effectively. Dozens of canes, from simple to simply stunning, are included and everything is clearly explained and illustrated with full-colour photographs, the Donna Kato way. Throughout the book, examples of stunning work by such noted 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.
