Our cub reporter/photographer at Bead and Button, Barbara Young, found the polymer clay works of Barbara McGuire intriguing and I’m sure you’ll agree.
Are they ancient or modern? McGuire has a loose, freeform approach to the clay that combines timeless energy with a dollop of mystery. I forget about technique and focus my attention on the art of the clay. Her class page listings leave me wanting to head south to Georgia.

Those bracelets are bold & dramatic without looking heavy or clunky. Barbara’s work is fabulous, & from what I hear from her students, she’s a terrific teacher.
I was fortunate to take a class from Barbara at Ravensdale last August. She’s a wonderful teacher, and a fabulous artist. =)
Barbara’s new deep cut stamps are great and used with her My Mokume technique lots of fun. I have taken several classes from Barbara and wish she hadn’t moved from CA to GA!!
Barbara’s work in incredible. Barbara’s book about children and teaching art is fabulous. We are thrilled to have Barbara in Georgia!!
