Hi, I'm Ginger

I love to learn and love to teach about what I’ve learned. This great passion has taken me through a career and education in science (molecular biology), an occupation as a seamstress, crafting obsessions with knitting and ceramics, and for the past 22 years with polymer clay.

I’ve been writing the popular polymer clay information website, The Blue Bottle Tree, since 2012. I live in Springfield, MO, with my husband Gary, and spend way too much time deeply obsessed with figuring out how things work, and why.
