Fimo and clay tips and tutorials

DIY Cupcake Container

This tutorial is a bit of a clever one! The maker uses a silicone muffin cup to make the base. There’s a little awkward phrasing about what to use as the “prop” for the icing to sit on during baking but I would wad paper, polyfill or foil up, myself although if you have the perfect metal shape, go for it..

Also? Clay candy sprinkle tip: Extrude some strands in candy colours, bake the strands then chop while warm. Voila, sprinkles for your clay cupcake decorating needs.

POP! – Perspectives on Polymer

Contemporary Craft is thrilled to be hosting POP! – Perspectives on Polymer June 25-29, 2022.  A five-day celebration of contemporary work in polymer, the event will have something for everyone who loves polymer clay.  POP! will feature four workshops along with virtual talks by some of the best polymer artists in the country, an exhibition of small works in polymer, and a curated feature in the Store. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, June 25, 6-8 PM, and will be free and open to the public.

POP!’s focus on workshops and the materiality of polymer makes this boutique event more than just a conference. Each participating artist was selected for their unique perspectives on polymer and the exciting ways they are moving the medium forward. The featured instructor for the event is Jeffrey Lloyd Dever, whose pioneering techniques in polymer have made him one of the most respected artists in the field. His jewelry and sculptural objects have been shown in many national invitational exhibitions, and his works are represented in numerous private collections, galleries and museums.
