For more than a decade, Elise Winters has been on a personal quest to elevate discussion about and enhance the image of polymer clay in the art and fine-craft community.
As of last week, the Board of Trustees at the Racine Art Museum in Racine, Wisconsin confirmed the museum’s commitment to establish a permanent collection of polymer jewelry, beads and sculptural objects. As part of this commitment, RAM will not only focus on assembling a world-class collection of exhibition quality works, but they will also preserve study pieces for future research. A small library will also be established to protect slide, print and catalogs for academic research.
What an achievement, Elise!
