Pasta machines are terrific tools for making more than just pasta!

Polymer clay is easy to handle and fun to work with. It hardens to a permanent finish in a regular kitchen oven, or in a toaster oven. Pasta machines allow you to easily blend various colors of polymer clay to create stripes, marbling, and intricate patterns for making unique beads, embellishments, and baubles.

With a pasta machine, you can make the perfect collection of polymer clay in the colors you want without leaving your home or studio for more supplies, so the possibilities are endless! You'll find the best projects and techniques for using a pasta machine right here in this little booklet.

Clay Techniques with a Pasta Machine will lead you through the basics and inspire your ideas and creativity with these polymer clay designs. Learn techniques that include basic skinner blend, skinner cane, skinner loaf, stripes, jelly rolls, checkerboards, nine-patch designs, mokume gane, marbling, and watercolor mixing. Exciting color and pattern variations of each technique are shown, to help stimulate your imagination and encourage creative experimentation!

Making the patterns is only part of the fun! The projects presented here will stimulate your imagination with ideas for turning your clay into awesome art. Learn how to use the resulting sheets of patterned clay for everything from light switch plates to book covers to beads. In no time at all you will be designing original jewelry and gift items your family and friends will treasure!
