Viva Beads® were created by two women who set out to make a better life for themselves and their families. They discovered an existing artisan technique, by which endless design and creativity could be unleashed. That technique is called "caning" and it is applied to polymer clay, similar to layering techniques of Venetian Glass. Layering polymer clay presented an extraordinary opportunity to creatively design products, beginning with the original line of Viva Beads® handmade clay beaded jewelry.
