| Welcome to the Home Page of Jan Geisen. I am an artist who works in multiple media. I have a BA degree in Art and originally worked only with photography and silk screen media. About 20 years ago I discovered polymer clay. I fell in love with its versatility. It was perfect for an "improv" artist like myself. I just work with it and it tells me what it wants to be! The first technique I worked with was the millefiori cane making technique. Millefiori canes always have distorted ends where the cane pattern doesn't match the rest of the cane. I discovered from my very first cane that I would rather play with the scraps, than the rest of the cane. As you can imagine, I ended up with a lot of clay "scraps". So I had to find ways to use them. In addition to using the canes for jewelry, I use them to make finials for plant stakes which are copper embellished with glass nuggets. I am still a photographer and have greatly enjoyed working with a digital camera instead of a film camera. I do sell my jewelry and garden art on-line. So check out my Polymer Clay Jewelry Page and Garden Art Page. These pages will lead you to my on-line shops at Etsy.com. Check out my blog at: www.jangeisen.blogspot.com Check out my Flickr site too if you want to see additional photos of my jewelry, photographs and plant stakes that I don't have here on my website: www.flickr.com/photos/23551801@N03/sets/ |
