A course by Brianca Thornton (Bellis Botanicals)
Bellis Botanicals is the creative universe of Brianca, a self-taught polymer clay artist whose miniature sculptures of butterflies, flowers, and fruits have captivated a global audience. After nearly a decade working in restaurant management, she transitioned into the art world by sharing process videos of her clay creations online—quickly gaining traction with her marbled snake earrings and tiny hanging plants. What began in 2022 as a side project selling bath bombs and resin jewelry evolved into a full-time artistic business powered by her growing online following.
Brianca’s work stands out for its vibrant textures, intricate detail, and a playful exploration of nature in miniature. Inspired by her travels and love for plants, she sculpts everything from clay canes of butterflies made in Costa Rica to light-up earrings and whimsical foods. Now working alongside her partner, Kolin (and under the supervision of their three feline “managers”), she continues to expand Bellis Botanicals with new techniques, challenges, and an ever-evolving creative spirit.
