Ann Dillon

Design, color, and texture have always been major components of my life in one form or another. I grew up in my parents' freelance home furnishings design studio. I majored in Fine Arts at UNH.

I've always had to create something. For a long time, that took the form of weaving - mostly one-of-a-kind wearables. Since 1993, I've been working with polymer clay, making mainly beads and jewelry. A few years back, smaller beads began to nudge at me and want to be part of the mix.

In my daily work, I'm the Art Director of Cobblestone Publishing, where I design two magazines and oversee design and production of our five other magazines for children.

My affiliations include:

• Juried Member, League of NH Craftsmen (LNHC)
• Member, NH Polymer Clay Guild (NHPCG)
• Member, International Polymer Clay Association (IPCA)
• Charter Member, Bead Society of New Hampshire (BSNH)
