MAKING FANTASY CHARACTERS IN POLYMER CLAY

Caroline McFarlane-Watts creates the hand-sculpted pieces, the miniature models and concept art in polymer clay. Caroline was born and grew up in a tiny remote Oxfordshire village in the United Kingdom. Her childhood was spent in a 500 year old Tudor house surrounded by cow fields, just a stone’s throw from the River Thames. She shared this setting with 5 siblings, 3 sheep, a pig, several hens and countless guinea pigs. Her parents did little to quash her runaway imagination; once fitting a tiny window and door into an old tree stump and telling her that it was home to a water rat. They also built her a secret dollhouse behind a tiny Alice in Wonderland door. Her passion for miniatures was reawakened when she worked in the art department of Harry Potter at Leavesden Studios where she helped to build a miniature scale model of Hogsmeade village. Since that time Caroline has had a career as a scale miniature model builder, character designer and maquette sculptor. Published in several langua
