 Quarto Publishing is currently working on a new jewellery book called The Polymer Clay Artist's Guide, by Marie Segal, due to publish in the summer 2013, in the UK and America.
Quarto Publishing is based in London, UK and is responsible for some of the most successful illustrated art books internationally. For further information, please feel free to check us out on www.quarto.com.
This forthcoming title will be suitable for anyone wanting to get into polymer clay for the first time, using clear step-by-step photography to reveal polymer clay's unlimited creative potential in a directory of techniques.
I'm currently seeking images of finished pieces to feature throughout the book. At this stage we're looking for a broad range of styles and techniques, so if this is a project you would like to be apart of then please contact me asap for further information on how to submit your work.
We will of course credit you in full and send a complimentary copy on publication.
I hope you will accept our invitation and hope to hear from you soon!
With kind regards,
Sarah
