Emma Ralph is a member of the British Polymer Clay Guild and has had her work exhibited at guild events and published in their newsletter. She regularly contributes to polymer clay and other craft magazines. She has her own mail order business supplying items for jewellery making. She lives in Coulsdon, Surrey. She is the author of Step-by-Step Polymer Clay in a Day, also published by New Holland.
Not a natural substance, polymer clay is made up of pigments, plasticizers, and PVC particles, a perfect combination for experimenting by beginners and professionals alike. Add to its properties a resistance to air drying, and that's reason enough to attract bona fide artists to the medium. British practitioner and author Ralph instructs readers in unusual techniques--for instance, Skinner blend, mokume gane--as well as in 17 increasingly more difficult projects, ranging from a Wedgwood-look-alike barrette to a Gustav Klimt-inspired bottle. Other unique attributes are items that incorporate more than polymer clay (stamping and scrapbooking are two); an insistence on teaching through color photographs first, accompanied by the right words; and devotion to a high caliber of design that is, quite frankly, not often found in crafts books of this ilk.
