A little California Korringa for your Friday pick-me-up. Kim Korringa has been working in polymer clay for years and has a densely packed studio bursting with color. Her flat drawers contain hundreds of canes that she has made over the years. “Occasionally I will clear off the work surfaces, but I find that I am more creative when I have everything laid out like a giant palette,” says Kim.

Her “making a cane” tutorial is a perennial favorite.
