Doll’s Houses hold a huge fascination for many people, whether they enjoy creating individual room boxes or furnishing whole houses. Modelling your own items is tremendously satisfying and polymer clay, with its extraordinary range of colours and supreme versatility is an ideal medium.

In her new book, acknowledged polymer clay expert Sue Heaser, reveals a variety of exciting techniques especially developed for making doll’s house items. She shows you how to accurately simulate materials like wood, metal, ceramics, plants and food. In over 50 projects, all explained with illustrated steps, you can create accessories for an entire house; from provisions, plates, pans and a stove for the kitchen to a bathroom suite.
