Natalia Garcia de Leaniz

Natalia has always loved making art; it is, in fact, a necessity for her. Since the very first moment she tried polymer clay in 2000, she was hooked and fascinated by the possibilities it offered! She loves playing with textures, effects and colors. She likes her jewelry to express happiness and transmit how much she enjoys working on it! Her work is primarily in polymer clay jewelry, often combined with silver. 

During the last six years, she organized several seminars and taught classes in Europe and USA. She loves to meet other clayers and share experiences, projects and ideas!

Natalia loves the versatility and freedom that polymer clay offers as she works. She considers herself an 'experimenter,' her home is invaded by beads, textures, projects… her passion and enthusiasm for polymer clay has spilled into her husband, Daniel. She does not have a way of working, she just follows her heart, never reading the instruction books! She has been so lucky to meet great artists that she now is happy to consider her friends and even family, and that has taught her so much, technically and as a human being, like Donna Kato, Judy Belcher, Leslie Blackford and, always, Daniel Torres.
