Layl McDill grew up in Gillette, Wyoming where she began creating at a very young age. Her early works were dollhouses, marionettes and even an entire “Smurf Village”. Layl received her BFA in Illustration from the Columbus College of Art Design but she found it more exciting to make sculptural work and sell it through galleries and art fairs. She has exhibited her work around the country since 1994. Polymer clay has been her medium of choice using the millefiori technique and mixed media materials added. The theme of wonderment permeates her sculptures that are covered with endless details. She uses themes of animals and nature to explore the ways we interact with the environment. Her work can also be found in numerous books and publications.
In this workshop, Layl will walk you through the steps of creating your own millefiori designs. When you slice up the clay you will be amazed at the tiny images you created! Then choose an object like a frame, switchplate, vase, or pen to cover with your little slices.
