About

Hello!

Thank you for your interest in getting to know more about Patou Studio. I hope you find all the answers you need here! 

There is one human and one duck behind Patou Studio. Patou, the duck, is the main character and the star of the show, and Isabel is the human making everything happen. All my creations are made with polymer clay in Toronto, Canada. 

I started Patou in 2022 after having a rough first year living in Toronto. I've always been a creative person but between work and study, I didn't have much time for myself anymore until I lost my job in the middle of the year. I decided to take that as a sign to pause for a little while and that's when I was able to explore my sculpting and making things with polymer clay. 

I'm originally from Brazil and I moved to Canada to study Business Administration, from which I graduated successfully. I also have a bachelor's in Fashion Design, which gave me a lot of visual knowledge that I use to this day. 

All of my pieces are hand sculpted or hand painted in my tiny apartment that I share with my partner and our cat, Simba. My goal is to one day transform Patou Studio into my full-time job, so I can dedicate much more time to doing what I truly love to do.

In my spare time, I like to go for walks, create things, or spend some time with my cat on the couch.  

I hope you enjoy my art as much as I do. If they bring a tiny bit of a smile to your face, I'm happy. :-)
