UPCOMING CLASSES

Hello!

I am Lucy. Fifteen years ago I fell in love with polymer clay and have spent more than half of my life creating from this material, learning, teaching, and sharing my skills with others.

Artwork

During that time I have developed my own style based on custom colors, simplicity, clean lines, and geometric shapes. I love working on details, that may not be visible to everyone, but are truly important to me.

Even though after ten years with this material, there is still an incredible amount of things I would like to create and try. That's what I love about this journey.

Polymer Week
Magazine

As I have spent more and more time in the polymer clay community, organized my first events, a few years ago, and have been teaching my own classes, all of that evolved into publishing a magazine dedicated to the clay, worldwide artists, interviews, tutorials, articles and lot of inspiration with every new issue.

We have published twenty issues so far and there is still a lot to explore. Connecting artists who love this material and are happy to share their knowledge and inspiration makes me very happy.

Photography

Capturing moments in my life and the beauty of nature is my passion. I love looking back at all wonderful memories through photography.

I very often collaborate with other entrepreneurs and brands and help them with photography, social media, and visual identity.

Art

Time after time I express myself also in art. Painting, drawing, sketching... all of that helps me to realize certain things in my life.

What a lovely teaching weekend with mum in Brno ❤️

What a weekend! 🎉

A wonderful time in Barcelona with the Spanish polymer clay group, and plenty of beetles came to life by the end! Thank you, everyone. 🧡

This time no fancy Spanish meals or stroll around Sagrada Familia…

I mostly just looked around, took it all in, and found a few quiet moments in between long work days — walking early with the sunrise by the sea, and catching the sunset at the end of the day.

Still pretty magical. 🧡

Thank you! 🧡

For the most incredible two days of teaching in Barcelona, for the lovely people around, and for the passion we all share for polymer clay.

Shouldn’t I become a travelling influencer… 🌊

I’ve spent the past months in the studio working on the Flying Beetles polymer clay class, and as I finally got to teach it today, I thought I’d share a few behind-the-scenes photos with you. 👀

From initial sketches to dozens of pattern samples, color combinations, shape variations, and surfaces covered with glass inclusions… I prepared many, many examples of individual parts of the process, to make the experience for attendees vibrant, entertaining, and easy to follow. 🎉

This weekend we kicked things off in Barcelona, and next up in June: Glasgow. See ya! 🧡

Somehow, I found a huge passion for creating minimalistic designs—while making sure each detail is absolutely perfect. 🧡

Simple-looking, contemporary, and timeless—isn’t that the ideal combination for polymer clay earrings?

Learn how to create a sturdy tube construction, patterns using the stenciling technique, and beautiful finishing details. 🎉

I see some spring mood, good food and coffees, flowers, drawings and walks. 🌿

You know how it works — the word spreads fast! Thanks to your beautiful feedback on the Flying Beetles made from polymer clay, what started as one potential class quickly grew. 🎉

More countries joined in, and now there are three lovely places where we can meet in the coming weeks to create the Beetles together!

Would you like to come to Florence, Barcelona, or Glasgow? Find out more details and register at www.lucystruncova.com 🎉

PS: You might be wondering, “Will there be an online class?” — This time, we’re choosing to fully embrace in-person gatherings, with all the lovely surprises, real-time creativity, and the joy of connecting face-to-face. 🧡

Around the start of the year, I made a cup of tea, took my sketchbook and pencil, and started right at the beginning — finding the ideal design for potential beetle brooches, exploring shapes, volume, and patterns… 🪲

Days went by, and I eventually grabbed a piece of clay, dove into molding little bodies, shaping wings, and pushed the boundaries of material combinations.

Beyond aesthetics, I focused on elegant, lightweight construction designed with wearability in mind, and hidden details — textures on the back, seamless finishes, and a balance between abstract geometric patterns and organic flow. 🌿

And as I was finishing more and more beetles, one by one, I started to love every aspect of them — their unique differences, movable elements, and all the hidden possibilities. 🧡

I guess more of them are yet to come. 🎉
