Cane Work with Polymer Clay - Continued

If the clay is properly handled, designs can be made smaller by a process of pulling and stretching. It’s now reduced down to 1" square and can easily be cut with a sharp blade.
If the clay is properly handled, designs can be made smaller by a process of pulling and stretching. By using a tool called a brayer, the edges are kept flat and the corners square. This particular section of the design was originally 2.5" square by 8' long. It’s now reduced down to 1" square and can easily be cut with a sharp blade.
We now have 4 identical design sections. The 4 sections are assembled to form the design, and at this point the cane is 2" square by 10" long.

We now add layers of colors to the outside to create borders and reduce the cane down one more time. The larger cane will be used to create pendants and brooches, while the smaller ones will soon become quilt block pattern earrings.

Slicing the cane requires the sharpest blade available.

FAQ

"How long does it take to create a single design?"

"Each design is different and so is the time that it takes to bring it to life. The complexity of the design, as well as how many colors are in it can effect how long it will take us. Some designs can be made into a cane in just 2 to 3 days, while others like the School House can take up to 3 weeks."
