Hi Jocelyn. I’m so glad you have polyclay in your life. It is pure joy. From my end, I feel like the more I learn, the less I know. But it sure is fun.

Amen Cindy. Now home disabled, polymer clay is the joy in my day. As are you, your family, and all the wonderful folks here.

Cassie and Joceyln: I just wanted to let you both know how much I appreciate your comments here.

Creating art of any kind, has such therapeutic value, that many people just do not understand. There is something about being able to create something for the sheer pleasure of it, that makes us different than the other animals in the kingdom.

The PROCESS of creating is the real thing of beauty rather than the THING created. You guys clearly understand that. It is a great thing for the world, that you are/were able to share that with others as Therapists!

Sometimes, especially with the hearing impaired kids, they learned more actual language and tense when engaged thoroughly in an activity they enjoyed.

@Jocelyn. LOL!!! You can run but you can’t hide from life as a therapist. I love Speech Therapists, especially the ones who use crafts.

@Cassie C: “Outed” LOL! Trained to be a speech pathologist and worked with the 0-14 year population in a private school for severe to profoundly communicatively challenged kids. I was fearless with crafts…..spilling was allowed.

@Jocelyn. lol, multisensory? That sounds familiar. Are you an Occupational Therapist too?
That is very true. It’s also possible to tailor it to most levels. So almost anybody can do something successful in polycaly.
And it’s so much fun.

@Cassie C: Probably because it’s a multi-sensory experience.

Thanks for your kind words Jocelyn. I bet your mother loved those ashtrays!! Polymer clay does seem to offer something to a large variety of people.
