Lindly Haunani has more than twenty six years of experience as a polymer clay workshop leader and has taught hundreds of workshops ranging from three hour seminars to week long residential intensives.
Her work has appeared in over fifty Invitational and juried shows. She is one of the founding members of the National Polymer Clay Guild, co-author of Artists at Work and Color Inspirations and the star of several how-to videos.
When not fantasizing about being a food stylist, a stand-up comic or a fabric designer…she can be found traveling around the country to teach workshops while belly laughing. She is best known for her sensitive use of color and gentle and empowering teaching style.
