My name is Heather Richmond, from Melbourne, Australia and I have been a Polymer Clay Artist since 1992. Whilst living and working in the United States as an Occupational Therapist, I discovered this wonderful 'new clay' and was immediately and incurably captivated. In particular the technique of 'Millefiori' (creating pictures using clay) caught my imagination - I loved the colours, patterns and textures possible with this technique.

As a result of this unbridled obsession I travelled extensively across the United States to complete workshops with some of the 'masters' of this art form - namely Kathleen Dustin, Pier Voulkos, Kathy Amt, Nan Roche, Lindly Haunani and Sarah Shriver. These artists imparted not only valuable techniques but a vision of the unlimited potential of this amazing clay. I truly believe I will never lose my passion for this material and all of it's endless possibilities, with only one's imagination being the limiting factor!
