GoosiexGoose (Grace Fu): I am a polymer clay artist, having started in late July 2024. I make each piece by hand, specializing in keychains, figurines, and jewellery dishes. I recently graduated from OCAD U in the jewellery program. Polymer clay craft resonates with me as it shares similarities with jewellery making while allowing creative flexibility.

GoosiexGoose will be selling handmade clay charms, keychains, figurines, jewellery dishes, phone/bag charms, and acrylic hand designed keychains.
