Polymer Clay Membership Site

Hi Cindy, thanks for the opportunity to offer feedback on the intro course. I found it great, succinct and very good at showing all the basic “stuff”. Money well spent for a ‘show me’ learner. ~Hope-N >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Beads and Canes

I discovered polymer clay two months ago, Googled and found an exciting world I didn’t know existed. Also quite overwhelming! Then I found your website and tutorials and I could relax and have fun, instead of having to go through lots of trial and error. Thank you for saving me from at lot of frustration! ~Hanne-R >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Bead Making Course

I for one can say I learned a lot from your beginners tutorial. I even had a ‘WoW’ moment during them and a couple of epiphanies as well! I’m so glad I have found such a wonderful teacher. ~Aims >> This comment was originally posted here: Making Polymer Clay Beads

Hi Cindy, I would like to respond to your request for feedback about the beginners course that I purchased. I can’t think of any thing to say that could improve it, except do a second one, LOL. However, I can state how the course has helped me as a beginning clay-er.  Your step by step visual from how we are to sand, what products to use, the types of clay, conditioning the clay, what equipment, the introductory to caning, marbling and blending colors is priceless. Also having access to this course when needed is so valuable that I don’t think words do it justice, as I couldn’t remember all the information you have provided when I need it.  I love this course, being able to SEE it is far more than the instruction I have seen on the internet in words only.  You explain things so well.  I have learned to set up my work area watching your course; I have bought each item you suggested (even though I bought a lot of Sculpey III BEFORE I got the course). Even though I have viewed the course a number of times, each time I come back, I see something new. I love it, keep up the good teaching. ~Ifama-J >> This comment was originally posted here: Butterfly Pendant Jewelry

Hi Cindy, sorry for being slightly late with this reply. I have to take turns with the rest of my family with the internet!! I enjoyed the “Polymer Clay Bead Making for Beginners Course” very very (moltissimo!) much. You’re great at explaining Cindy and all your advice is valuable. Thank’s for sharing your “secrets”. Consider yourself responsible for a new “polymer clay addict”!!! Just one thing Cindy, in your email to me what does “my neck of the woods” mean? ! Sorry my english doesn’t recevie many updates as I live in Italy, but it’s great to learn new expressions! bye ~Kathia-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Learning Polymer Clay Techniques

Brand new to the craft. My stepfather, who just passed last week, had been doing it [polymer clay] for 2 years and even sold his wares in the nursing home. My wife and I are going to try it and perhaps we can move from novice to where we can supplement our income. I am really excited, love your video’s (bought the 39 lesson beginner’s lessons) they are extremely helpful and a darn sight better than learning from a book – although we have a book or two as well. ~Doug-K >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorial

Love this idea about the recipe cards… also since you have been doing this a lot longer than most of us…any additional tips such as resources would be wonderful as well. Can’t wait to see all of this available….I am learning so much from your videos and your course!!!! Hugz Cindy. ~Pamela-C >> This comment was originally posted here: Video Polymer Clay Tutorials

Hello Cindy, What I can say about your tutorials, blog etc, is you are very dedicated person, very helpful, very professional, “unfortunately” I can not found something bad, so you can improve on that. Also, business-wise, I believe you are using all the good methods for the products too. So, just carry on as you are and you will be as good as it can be :) I am sure this did not help you much, but, if you know more about me, you should take this as a extremely big compliment, because I just don’t take BS, and you will have mouthful if you are not nice and helpful as you are. Way to go my dear, thumbs up! Best regards from South Africa. ~Srdjan-R >> This comment was originally posted here: How to Make Polymer Clay Beads

Dear Cindy, I live in Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. Nobody probably knows where to find it on a map but it is a very nice little place to live in. I am a french speaking admiror of yours and I learn so much with your course. Do not change anything it is all perfect. Hope to learn more and more from you. You sure are the friend we all want to have to learn polymer clay tips. Go on, tutor, you’re the best. ~Laurence-P (a boy’s name, but not in French!!!) >> This comment was originally posted here: International Polymer Clay Artists

Cindy, as a newbie I can’t get enough of your videos. I already went through your 39 basic polymer [Course] videos and they were great. I’ve seen a lot of other videos on the web but yours are so easy to follow. You Rock!!!! ~Catherine-R >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Pendants

Cindy, I can’t tell you how wonderful your videos have been for me.  The course I purchased has launched me into creating beads that are an amazement to me and also to my friends!  I love all the videos you send as well as your prompt answers to any questions or concerns.  Being able to learn from your mistakes is very, very valuable. Thanks again for all your hard work and willingness to share your knowledge and experience with us. ~Marsha-N >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Tutorials

Cindy, I thought your course was very informative. I never worked with clay before, but read several books. I like to be shown how to do things rather than just reading about them. Most of the things that are in your course I was familar with.  I just needed to hear some of the problems that you had making things so that I could correct my way of doing things. I find myself looking forward to your new video every week, along with the color recipes. ~CJ-Clinger >> This comment was originally posted here: Polymer Clay Beads

I love your course, it is great, really helpful when you are starting out and you make everything look so easy. I love it and all your back issues too. Money well spent. Many thanks. ~Karen-B >> This comment was originally posted here: Jewelry Bead Storage

Hi, I have been following Cindy Lietz’ blog, www.beadsandbeading.com for about a while now.  She is WONDERFUL and her site is so full of fabulous teachings about polymer clay.  I can not say enough about all that I have learned from Cindy, My Polymer Clay Tutor, and her tutorial videos, her course and her daily posts.  Yes, I do have her first course, and I am a paid member to her Video Library.  The knowledge Cindy imparts on all of us is priceless.  I would suggest that anyone who is at all interested in working with polymer clay, jewelry making, or in finding fellowship with like minded people, go to her site and become part of the community, sign up for her courses, and all that Cindy has to offer.  Both experienced clayers, and beginners can benefit greatly from her.  I am just one of many who has learned so much from Cindy.  Cindy’s videos are the best.  The videos are high quality in all ways (content, picture, and sound).  Cindy is such a precise and considerate teacher.  She anticipates all of the questions that one might ask, and she answers them, and shows great examples as she answers them, with fun and easy to follow videos.  Cindy’s daily posts are something that I look forward to every day.  Don’t waste any more time…check her out, and you will be so happy you did…I certainly am!!!  A Loyal BeadsandBeading Follower :) ~Cindy-E >> This comment was received via email.
