Bento and Colour Series
The inspiration for this piece comes from kitchen tools to make a bento (in Japanese: food to take away). We'll explore the creation of hollow volumes and walk around towards understanding the use of monochromatic harmony. We'll study colours and what feelings induce, playing with inks for the inside finish and we'll particularly focus on finishing and final assembly of the piece. |

About Eva
While looking for a material to create her own soap dishes Eva discovered polymer clay as her medium. She was instantly hooked and wanted more, much more. Polymer clay, being such a versatile medium, still fascinates her like on the first day. She loves to get inspired by things she sees and feels – nature, animals, colors, arts, music and various kinds of craft and design. Everything drives her to get new ideas and polymer clay is the perfect medium to transform her inspirations into jewelry and accessories. She is curious where her creativity will lead her in future. https://www.facebook.com/people/Eva-Ehmeier |

About Melanie
Melanie was instantly taken with polymer clay's qualities as a medium. Finding it essentially a simple material to use, yet the range of techniques possible with it are extraordinary. Melanie is constantly inspired by the colours and patterns that surround her at her home near Nairn, in the Scottish Highlands. Melanie's jewellery is deceptively simple in form, but the creation and application of pattern is critical. There are no hidden messages; Melanie simply wishes to create jewellery which is so beautiful that it speaks to someone else. http://www.facebook.com/melanie.muir.nairn |
