Back Jacket Description
Karen Lewis, aka Klew, found polymer clay in 1987. Realizing
its potential she started “Klew Expressions” in 1988. In
1996, Karen moved her home studio to a commercial location housing her
Studio and Gallery. In May of 1999 she expanded for a bead store and
classroom. Karen writes for many trade magazines, has been published
in books, appeared on national TV and in the Smithsonian “Artrain”.
Klew’s beads are part of the permanent collection in Arizona’s
Bead Museum. Her work is shown in galleries world-wide.
The techniques and bead styles Klew shares in this video
are the culmination of her ten plus years working in this wonderful
medium. In this video you’ll learn: make uniformly sized base
beads; use all the polymer clay canes you’ve made to create beads;
make a dozen shapes and styles of beads; see and understand your most
important tool—your hands; make complex beads with sculptural
elements and appliques. (98 minutes)
