Polymer Clay March 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As with all of Donna Kato's books it is well written and her explanations and photos are geared for all level of artist. It is a must have book if you love working with polymer clay or just love to look at innovative Asian influenced design ideas.
Excellent source for the seasoned and the novice March 13, 2008
I had worked with polymer clay years ago and abandoned it as a medium. While watching reruns of Carol Duvall shows I would sketch and make notes about inspiring crafters and artists. I knew nothing of Donna Kato and as I looked back through my notes her name appeared again and again as work I had admired. This new book is an excellent addition to my resource library and I refer to it again and again as I practice polymer clay techniques with a new appreciation for the medium. The techniques are well described complete with specific brands of materials and clearly well-tested. A must-have.
Wow!!! January 29, 2008
This is an amazing book and one that you should really get to add to your collection of polymer clay books. There are soooooo many things in here to try. I just can't wait!
Plus, buying it from here saved me lots of $$ over the local craft store cost and even ebay.
Very Satisfying December 31, 2007
Donna Kato's new book, with photographs by her husband Vernon Ezell and a foreword by Carol Duvall, covers a wide range of techniques and styles. Kato's work defies categorization, covering nostalgic pieces, modern pieces, whimsical items, Asian-inspired items, and even sculpture. Her versatility is amazing. Her teaching ability is wonderful, and through the many photographs we get to see her flawless craftmanship in action. I was especially intrigued by her Brocade Technique and by a watercolor-y bead, done with alcohol-based inks and a rubber stamp of some handwriting.
Always breaking new ground, Kato gives us a collection of stylish, artistic and creative techniques. She carefully explains each one, along with reasons why she chose the materials she used. She includes work from other artists as well, making this a well-rounded and extremely useful book. It doesn't get any better than this!

I recommend this book highly. It's for the most advanced as well the mostly beginner polymer clay artist. Definitley a keeper. I routinely order lots of books on polymer clay and donate most to the library...
