Donna Kato - A Life In Polymer Clay
Donna Kato - A Life In Polymer Clay
All about polymer clay!
I signed up in 2010…for 12 years my channel sat, silent, empty. Along came Covid and the decision to try to build my channel and share what I know about polymer clay with anyone interested.
Special thanks to Leslie Blackford for teaching me how to upload and for being my very good friend - a bestie.
Hope you enjoy! If you do, please subscribe, like, sign up for notifications and maybe even Join the Classroom!

Hello Miss Donna. Thank you for all of your amazing tutorials! I am new and learning SO SO SO much! ❤ At the beginning when you show the many beautiful flowers you reference a “French lavender cane” and that flower is gorgeous!! 🤩 I’m unable to find the tutorial though. Could you please link it so that I might learn how to make it? Also, the metal flower centers, what are they and where can we purchase? Again, Many thanks for all of your time and teachings.
Donna! You make everything look so easy! When I see your finished product in the preview, I’m just amazed how really easy looking it is. I can’t wait to give it a go. 🥰
I have been reading through some of the old clay magazines that I found online, I was amazed at how far back clay art has been around. I love these beautiful canes. Donna you are a fabulous teacher.
These are absolutely stunning,thank you for sharing your vision.
Those would look cute as tie backs on curtains if they coordinate with those colors. They could be used other than jewelry.
I just happened to come across this channel and just noticed your last name, wow, I have been using this clay for a while and love it, it’s great to see the Artist who created this lovely line of clay. I appreciate that there isn’t an endless amount of steps to create these beads, they turned out fantastic can’t wait to make some. Thank you for sharing your skills with us and created a wonderful clay.
Donna how do you make the snail beads please ?
They’re coming! This Sunday!
Could you please show us what kind of machin cause it does not to appear in the camera , thank u
Hi! It's an Atlas 150 pasta machine! If you're just starting and don't know if you want to pursue polymer clay, I'd recommend getting an inexpensive machine from Michaels on sale. If you do pursue pc, you'll want a better machine like the Atlas. Hugs, D
I love these Donna!
So glad, Elizabeth! Hugs, D
Beautiful beads Donna!
Do you have a tutorial to make the black and white snakes that you have on the bead at the start of the video and on your table?
Hi Donna, Jill here in the uk. Just searching gor a brass rod and discovered there are threaded brass rods. Have you ever worked wiyh one gor this cane? X
You know, Jill, I think those would be so useful to make a pattern of fine lines in clay. I don't have one but it's on my list next time I hit Lowes! Hugs, D
How did you make the letters
Gaye, there's a tutorial on just that topic! Watch this! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ma1mlI96ksSsc6w.htmlsi=8tY8XWHhxXba9M8m
loved this video and beads....... thank you for this tutorial Donna ma'am
My pleasure, Rebecca! Hugs, D
Beautiful
I feel we can all learn from each other no matter how much experience we have or how long we have been in business. I'm all for sharing all of my knowledge and experience. I learn things just from teaching newbies! And I love that!
I thought I was weird because I tend to do a lot of black and white when working with polymer clay. I’m happy to know I’m not alone. Thank you for the videos.
Love them. X
I love the Schreiber hack, how clever!
Just in case anyone tries to look her up, it's Sarah Shriver.
I just love your videos. Inspiration
Thank you, Donna. I love these! Do you have a tutorial to make the snail beads? Lots of love from Zimbabwe.
Coming this weekend! Hugs, D
Lovely, as always! Thank you!
I think of a inside of a shell ❤ thank you ☺️
Ooooh I love the blues D…also those with the gold stripe.. ❤🙏🏽
Joyce, these aren't hard to do, kid. Just make your plugs and off you go! Hugs, D
I usually just make a flat clay bead on one end with a hole in the clay that goes partially through and insert a magnet ,and make the channel for the cord from the other end of the necklace to lay in... then attach an opposite magnet on the cord at the other end of the necklace. It remains flat and the magnetic " clasp" is hidden.
Great tutorial... By the way I have been looking for your Marxit tool. Where do i find it in Canada or elsewhere ?
I don't know where to find the Chinese knock off! Theyre out there. I'll let everyone know when I find them. Cheers!
Brilliant... Where did you get the mark maker for the spacing ? Thank you.
Hi. These are so beautiful! Are you going to do a tutorial on the snail shells as well? I would love to see how you do that. Thank you
Coming this Sunday!
@@DonnaKatoArt I better keep my skinner blend clean then 😂
You are the best teacher 🐚
Thank you, Jane!
they are beautiful, all of them
Very nice, fun, and cool looking!
I would love to see how you make the snails 🐌!
Your beads are always so impactful but you show your process and it seems so doable.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/eXZmvMqJlajLeNI.htmlsi=L7ZHrCqWIAgCTOeV I WANT TO TRY TO MAKE THIS COLEUS CANE BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR STYLE OF INSTRUCTION MUCH MORE DO YOU THINK YOU COULD MAYBE MAKE A VIDEO LIKE THIS? That's the link to the video in my comment
I used leftover rainbow Skinner blend from your 'Rainbow Stripe Pendant' tutorial to make these today. They're fabulous!
Donna, I’m so happy I found you here on YT! I remember watching you on the Carol Duvall Show back in the day. I ended up in the town below hers and would see her at “art institute”gatherings where we were both members.
Aw. I miss Carol. She was one in a million and did so much for all of us. You have good memories of her, me, too..Hugs, D
ALWAYS look forward to Sundays to see what you come up with for all of us, and you NEVER disappoint!!!❤
aww, thanks, T! Hugs, D
