At least one or more Makins Products have been intergrated into the projects in the Makins Gallery. My grateful thanks to all of the wonderfully creative contributors featured.
A very special mention and thank you to Lex Sorrentino who has been a valued supporter and believer in Makins Products from the beginning. Lex has combined Makins Clay and Products with a variety of very unusual and interesting media - the results are spectacular. Lex teaches a range of creative crafts including Polymer Clay, Doll Making and Paverpol.

LEX SORRENTINO
Lex has always had a preference for making unusual or "weird and wonderful" things.
The images below are examples of some of those "weird and wonderful" things. Lex has combined Makin's Clay® with various mediums including Paverpol, Fabric, Organic matter and found objects.
