Millefiori Caning | Polymer Clay Caning Made Simple

Hi everyone this video is an introduction to polymer clay canes and I discuss everything you need to know before you start practicing millefiori caning. Millefiori Canning is one of the most popular polymer clay techniques to learn which is based on an ancient Roman glass technique that creates a horizontal rod of multiple colored pieces arranged in a bundle to form a pattern or image when viewed at each end.
