About the designer

Her creations are perfect for brides who want everlasting bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, flowers that are out of season and flawless petals that will withstand direct sunlight and heat on the hottest of summer days.

Clay flowers are the eco-friendly alternative to fresh flowers for weddings.  Many brides are embracing the clay flower phenomenon.  Fresh flowers can be a big wedding expense and clay flowers offer a wonderful and everlasting alternative to fresh flowers for bouquets, cake flowers, hair flowers, favors, centerpieces and more.

Diane Phillips had the distinct honor of being the first clay artist featured on the April Fools Day episode of the Martha Stewart Show, showing Martha and her home and studio audience how to make hydrangea flowers out of CLAYCRAFT by DECO Soft Clay!
