Air-Dry Clays - Mixed Media

I’m a mixed-media artist, working in polymer and paper clay, wood, textiles, fiber, metal and natural materials. I focus on creating figurative work in two-D, relief and three-D formats. I love giving an old story a new twist, creating imaginary characters with a touch of humor. It’s about the idea, which may percolate for years. I have a passion for fiber arts, spinning, felting, quilting, wool appliqué embroidery. I attended college as a fine arts major and work as an artist/designer/teacher. See some of my work in 500 Figures in Clay, Lark Books and kathrynwalmsley.com
