Toni Street is an Award Winning Polymer Clay Artist and an acknowledged pen maker, who was accepted into the Pen Makers Guild. Her Polymer Clay art has been seen all over the world through numerous publications. She has been working with clay for very close to 30 years now.
She is originally from the Beautiful Hudson Valley in New York State, now residing in Alabama. She has been working with Clay since the 80’s and discovered Polymer Clay in the early 90’s. Polymer Clay provides her with the versatility to create a multitude of designs given the vast color palette that the clays offer.
Toni loves making large canes and small canes with a pattern that can be seen throughout the whole cane and then cutting and applying it in slices to create a beautiful array of patterns, in clay and directly on the brass pen tubes which makes pen blanks.
Toni Street has studied with some of the most renowned artists in the USA, and is lucky enough to have them as personal friends.
