Hello, I’m Dasha.
I’m the artist and maker behind Dasha Paradoks,
and I create each piece from start to finish.
I work from my home studio in Cambridgeshire, UK — a calm,
inspiring place where I reset, find new ideas, and take my time
with the details as each piece comes to life, step by step.
The main material I work with is polymer clay. I’m very attentive
not only to the design, but also to the materials I use and their quality. My work often becomes jewellery you can wear, miniature animals with personality, tiny houses that hold their own libraries, and many other little pieces that start as an idea and grow in the studio.
My studio
Creativity has been with me since childhood, and curiosity has always been a big part of who I am. I tried countless crafts, and making things by hand quickly became something I couldn’t imagine life without.
About 14 years ago, in high school, I discovered polymer clay and something quietly clicked. I kept coming back to it until it became the material I always return to.
Many people discover my work through book-themed designs, from tiny shelves to miniature scenes. Others come for florals, miniature animals, and all the small details across my collections. If you’d like to explore more, you can view a selection of my projects here.
A few special moments I’m grateful for are my features in printed magazines Polymer Week and Daphne's Diary. Here are a few photos
from the publications.
Below you’ll find links to articles and tutorials featuring my work, if you’d like to dive a little deeper.
