The Swirl - reminiscent of the Maori 'koru' symbol, representing new beginnings, growth and harmony

I am Claire Fairweather and would describe myself as an artist/designer/maker. I am a naturally creative person and need to be making something to be happy; hopefully I can spread a little of that happiness by sharing my creations with the world.

Since 2010, my medium of choice has been polymer clay. Working from my home studio in Whangamata (Coromandel), when I am not creating mosaic artwork with my own hand made polymer clay tiles (www.clairefairweather.co.nz), I like to make these Swirl-StoNZ. The random and unpredictable nature of their creation makes each one unique, and is a welcome break from the precise and time consuming nature of mosaic art.
