Michael Devine discovered polymer clay in the Spring of 2006. After several years of working the midnight shift in Midtown Manhattan, he needed to find a way to unwind. After a trip to the local art shop, he came home with a few blocks of Sculpey and a book on making simple characters in clay. he was home playing with this stuff for an hour or so and then it just hits him -- He raced back to the store and picked up about $100 bucks worth of clay, tools, supplies and books :) He found his peace!
