Polymer Clay Cane Pattern Compositions for Beginners

Kristin Vaughn is a self-taught polymer clay artist based in Iowa, USA. She loved arts and crafts growing up, but slowly lost touch as she began her professional career. In need of an artistic outlet, she rekindled her passion for clay and discovered the creative possibilities of canes. She later decided to transform her jewelry-making hobby into a business and set up Hillside Studio.

In 2021, Kristin left her corporate job and has since been fully devoted to her studio, handcrafting original pieces to sell online and in her boutique store. She’s passionate about teaching others this art form and shares her creations with more than 207K followers on Instagram. Her work has also been featured on media platforms like Buzzfeed, Bored Panda, and MyModernMet.
