Polymer Clay Art
Polymer Clay Art
Polymer clay art is a unique and versatile form of creative expression that transforms a soft, moldable synthetic material into detailed, durable, and often intricate works of art. Unlike natural clay, polymer clay doesn’t require a kiln – it’s baked at low temperatures in a regular oven, making it accessible for both professional artists and hobbyists. Its smooth texture, range of vibrant colors, and ability to hold fine details make it ideal for sculpting miniature objects, jewelry, decorative figures, and even wall art.
Krjanina’s Polymer Clay Art
Katerina Krjanina’s polymer clay artworks are a stunning fusion of fine art and handcrafted design. Each piece she creates is a miniature sculpture – thoughtfully shaped, carefully detailed, and entirely one of a kind. Inspired by the beauty of nature, folk tales, and the poetry of everyday life, her creations range from elegant earrings and pendants to full jewelry sets that feel like wearable stories. With a background in painting and illustration, Katerina brings a painter’s eye to her clay work, using color and form to create depth and movement without a single drop of paint. Every petal, swirl, or tiny sculpted accent is made from hand-blended clay, layered and shaped with wooden tools and fine needles.
Polymer Clay Art Style
Her style is organic, expressive, and filled with personality. Soft florals, delicate textures, bold color contrasts, and timeless charm all come together in her pieces, which she often offers as single-copy originals or custom commissions. Whether you’re holding a tiny blossom in the form of a brooch or a luminous statement pendant, her polymer clay jewelry reflects the same creative spirit and storytelling found in her paintings. These are not just accessories – they are little works of art, full of soul and crafted with heart.

About the Artist
Katerina Krjanina’s polymer clay art stands out for an exquisite blend of painterly detail, sculptural finesse, and narrative imagination – making her work both striking and deeply personal.
What makes her art so unique begins with her commitment to using pure colored polymer clay without a drop of paint. That means every petal, strand, or swirl is sculpted and color‑layered manually, delivering texture and shading entirely through the clay itself.
Krjanina’s artistic vision is deeply rooted in her fine art background. She draws inspiration from nature and folklore – imbuing her creations with a sense of story and magic.
Another layer of uniqueness is her choice to limit many of her designs to single-copy originals or made-to-order pieces. This ensures that each creation is one of a kind, and clients can request custom color palettes or complementary matching pieces.
