Jeff and his wife, Diana, own a small gallery in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Hill’s Gallery and Gifts has been operated by Jeff for over 30 years. He has always found ways to express his artistic side, and the Gallery features unique handmade items—many of which are his own creations. Jeff has always loved flowers and has a degree in horticulture. This has always influenced his art, whether it is floral design, painting or, now, his work with polymer clay. Jeff is creating beautiful jewelry using millefiore inlay techniques. Millefiore, Italian for “thousand flowers”, refers to an ancient glass making technique in which rods of molten glass are combined and stretched to produce a long cylinder. The pattern, which is typically floral or geometric, is continuous throughout its length. These techniques have been successfully adapted to polymer clay and form the basis for modern polymer clay cane work. Intricate designs are created in canes and slices are then inlayed onto a base. NO, they are not painted.
