Jayne Hoffman

Jayne is intrigued by color and line. Her father was an automotive design engineer, and her love of lines and geometric design may have come from him. Jayne loves inks, paints, glitters and other inclusions, giving her a reason to collect all of the wonderful art supplies she wanted as a child. Her serendipitous approach to design and art is the most exciting thing she teaches. She has been working with Polymer Clay since 2000 and lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and three cats. Her day job is as a data analyst, but in the past she taught junior/senior high school English and social studies.
