Ilysa & Ed have been working with polymer clay for a combined total of 22 years. Ilysa learned to work with polymer clay in Brooklyn, NY where she met an artist selling her wares who introduced her to the clay. This prompted Ilysa to study jewlery design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. After completing her studies in New York Ilysa moved back to Florida, the state she had grown up in and opened an art gallery with her partner and husband Ed Bierer. This was the beginning of Infinite Possibilities Gallery in Hollywood, FL. The gallery remained open for one year when Ilysa & Ed decided to close the gallery so they would be free to travel around the country participating in art shows.
