If you would like to explore the world of Polymer Clay further, the best place to get you started is the National Polymer Clay Guild. There are many links on their website and you will find tons of helpful information related to Polymer Clay, including a listing of Polymer Clay Guilds per State.

Another very helpful and extensive website is Polymer Clay Central.

A very nice site featuring new artists from all over the world is polymerclaydaily.com.

And of course there are plenty of newsgoups online - try rec.crafts.polymerclay first.

Books are always an excellent resource, whether you would like to give them as gifts or whether you are looking for projects and techniques to try your hands on yourself. You may find some books on Polymer Clay in your public library.  The book I recommend most for beginners is “The New Clay” by Nan Roche.  It was the first comprehensive book published on the subject.  A “sequel”, “The New Clay II”, is scheduled to be published soon. Borders Bookstore has a great selection of books on Polymer Clay.

If you’d rather shop online for books and magazines related to Polymer Clay, take a look at the selection of Lisa Clarke of Clarke’s World/Polka Dot Creations. She also offers a nice variety of instructional videos on Polymer Clay.

Magazines & Periodicals about Beads also incorporate sections on Polymer Clay.  At Borders, for example, you can find a wide variety of magazines which are very inspirational as well as educational, such as Polymer Cafe, a magazine devoted to Polymer Clay only,  Bead & Button Magazine, Step-by-Step Beads (by Lapidary Journal) and Ornament Magazine.

Step-by-Step Beads will have a special issue devoted to Polymer Clay only in stores in November of this year.

Polymer Clay can be found at all the major Crafts Retail stores such as A.C. Moore, Michaels and Pearls.
