Lauren Tomlinson is a US-based artist who has been working with polymer clay for over twenty years. She discovered it at a friend's house at a sleepover when she was twelve.

With a lot of love, support, and encouragement, she eventually started her own business. Over the years, she’s grown her business and social media presence, sharing tips, tricks, and information with her followers along the way. Lauren grew up one of thirteen children. She has eleven nieces and nephews (so far) and plays volleyball any chance she can. She loves to travel; her favorite places have been Jordan and Australia.
