Somewhere along the line we started doing Advent calendars in my family – mostly the little chocolate ones from the department store – and it’s a tradition I’ve kept up in various forms with my own daughter. I admit mine aren’t polymer clay related (Lego or chocolate rules here). Maive Ferrando did a whole Advent calendar worth of videos on how to make polymer clay minis. If you scroll down to the bottom of her YouTube channel you can load up the whole month as a playlist. Or enjoy one a day. The first one is little fruit cakes, below.

POP! – Perspectives on Polymer
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.
