Get to Know
I'm Wendy McManus, metal clay and polymer clay artist, and the driving force behind Big World Studio. When I discovered polymer clay in 2005, I instantly fell in love with this versatile material and I joyfully dove into experimenting with different techniques and perfecting my skills.
In 2009 I expanded my palette to include metal clay--both silver clay and copper clay--and my heart has just soared with the possibilities opened up to me with these new materials.
I've always been a crafter, but these are the mediums that truly brings out the artist in me. I get excited every time I get my hands in the clay. In 2008 I began selling my creations. Word spread, events were booked and Big World Studio was born.
As I searched online for examples of beautiful metal clay artwork, I realized that the community could benefit from a site that would showcase metal clay art and artists. So, I created www.MetalClayMagic.com, where I blog two to three times per week, always featuring a different artist in each post. If you love metal clay, check out the site and let me know what you think.
In addition to creating art jewelry and blogging, I'm the Director of Marketing for the National Mango Board, where I work to promote mango consumption throughout the U.S. Learn more at www.mango.org.
