Polymer Clay Incense Holder

by

Adrienne of Crafty Little Gnome shares how to build a polymer clay incense holder. The rose shape is clever and you could obviously use all sorts of decorative techniques for the clay part. I think it would look super with a little metal leafing on the petal edges and translucent clay petals.

Bake it for longer than she mentions. Sculpey 3 and CraftSmart clay says 15 mins per 1/4″ thickness but the center nub is a round ball and the petals are thinner and would benefit by the extra strength a longer curing time provides.

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.
