This Month Online: Lindly Haunani
A lifelong artist, Lindly Haunani was delighted to discover polymer clay in 1988. The medium’s versatility allowed her the freedom to explore her varied interests in food styling, jewelry design, and the multiple imaging techniques inherent in printmaking. Admired for her gently empowering teaching style, Haunani has taught hundreds of polymer clay workshops during the past 15 years. Her work has been featured in books and magazines. Currently she has two videos available, “Tantalizing Transluscents” and “Roses and More.” Haunani also co-authored a book on polymer clay artists and is a founding member of the National Polymer Clay Guild. Find out more about Lindly Haunani this month at www.craftsreport.com.
