A little about Susan Averello...

Welcome to Fantasy Clay by Susan Averello
at Poly Clay Play's Artist Corner.

I’ve been claying since about 2000 but I first discovePurple polymer clay in a Klutz book. I was immediately hooked. I have learned about polymer clay in every way I could, joining a guild, through websites, books, web groups, classes and more. I especially like making fantasy creatures because I can make them look any way I can imagine. There is nothing to hold me back but my imagination. I am always trying to learn new techniques and new projects. Favorite artists and biggest influences have been Christi Friesen and Dinko Tilov. My favorite items to sculpt are dragons... anything goes.

On the personal side, I have been happily married for over 20 years now and have two teenagers. I live in New Jersey. I work in IT. The entire first floor of my house has basically been taken over by my art since I don’t have a craft room, so it just expands to fill the space. Since I was 14, I don’t think I went a day without nail polish. Then I had long nails but in the past few years, I have given up on nail polish or anything else and keep my nails cut short all the time so I can always be ready to clay.
