5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book   January 6, 2009
Katherine Dewey has put together a really great book on sculpting figures in polymer clay. It's more geared toward the beginner but there's plenty in it for more experienced sculptors too.


5 out of 5 stars OUTSTAND book!!!!!   December 20, 2008
If you have ANY interest in creating fairies with Polymer clay, this book is a must!!




5 out of 5 stars The best polymere book on the market.   November 29, 2008
This is the best sculpture instruction book on the market. Don't buy any others all you need is theis one. The book starts out with instructions on how to make tools to assist in your sculpture journey. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Ms. Dewey even adds information on how to use the tools. Then on to the sculpture itself. All the information is included starting with how to make a foil base to how to measure out the amount of clay to use. Ms. Dewey takes a daunting subject and breaks it down so that anyone can have success. I can hardly wait to get to my studio to work now that I have this book as a teacher resouce and guide.
