Artist Spotlight: Grant Diffendaffer

October 9, by heather powers. 1 Comment

bookcover.jpgGrant Diffendaffer’s beads tap into the primordial influences of moculuer structures and hidden organism of the sea.  His work is other worldly yet deeply rooted in the minute details of the natural world. 

I’m eagerly awaiting the release of his new book, Polymer Clay Beads: Techniques, Projects and Inspiration coming out in January 2008. 

Grant teaches across the country and has been featured in many publications over the years.  He recently answered the artist spotlight questions to give a little glimpse into his creative process.

What was your first polymer clay project?

My first projects was a necklace of small marbled sculpey beads.

Besides a pasta machine, what polymer clay tool can’t you live without?

A tissue blade.

What inspires your polymer clay creations?

I am inspired by nature.  Especially sea life, seed pods, and microscopic organisms.

Would you share a color recipe with us?

I don’t use a lot of recipes really.  I like turquoise–about 10 parts white pearl to one green pearl and one blue pearl.  I tend to vary the mixture though.

To view more of Grant’s work and to follow along with his inspiring blog, visit his website.

    Greetings on a pearl like autumn day. I tried to get a hold of Heather Powers through her link here but all I get is to the bee-dog. I’ve tried several other links but none has been successful. Please, may I have the e-mail to contact her?

    Thank you,
    Jean
