Angie Scarr - Angie Scarr Miniatures

A Angie Scarr não precisa de muitas apresentações,  para quem anda no mundo das miniaturas  a Angie Scarr é um nome de referência nos trabalhos em argila polimérica, "tipo fimo", com livros e dvds publicados, muitos tutorials  no Youtube,  loja on-line e presença assidua nas principais feiras mundiais.

Deixamos aqui a descrição do seu percurso, pelas suas próprias palavras, em inglês:

Angie Scarr started playing with polymer clay in the mid 1980s when she was in her 20s  but it was in 1989 after her daughter was born and she quit a job as a social work assistant that she took it up more seriously, initially making miniature foods as a complement to the work of her Mum, who was a dolls house enthusiast and miniature woodworker.  Frustrated by the lumpen miniatures available at the time from all but a very few miniaturists, and inspired by the sight of a millefiori lemon slice, Angie accidentally made an orange cane by a different method than the one she'd seen. This design allowed her to re-enclose the cane into a full  orange, and peel the skin back to make a realistic peeled fruit.  And it was from this simple mistake and the addition of  the Skinner Shade technique that she drew the inspiration which helped her to develop many ideas which, though innovative at the time are now part of the way miniatures are routinely made. Her work
 is now often copied, and as Angie herself readily admits, regularly equalled and often improved upon. Angie however, now  with her 60s only a few years away,  carries on innovating, solving three dimensional  problems, finding  short cuts and sharing inspirations and continues to have an influence on a new generation of miniature artists.
