On this week’s episode of Food Makers, a Google+ hangout on air, I’ll be talking to Tim Burton, not the director, but the man behind Burton’s Maplewood Farm in Indiana In New England and America’s upper Midwest, the sap is flow in maple trees and that means sugaring season is near. Tim will talk about the craft of maple syrup, the tools of the trade, his sought-after barrel aged syrup, and the upcoming National Maple Syrup Festival. Sounds sweet, doesn’t it?

Polymer clay is a relative newcomer to the world of craft materials. Although it looks and feels like pottery clay, polymer clay does not require a super-hot kiln — when you’re done molding your object, you can just pop it in your home oven and it will harden in about 30 minutes! We’re giving away three copies of the book Polymer Clay Master Class. Just comment on this blog post to win!
