Okay, not rings for your fingers – although the same technique, scaled down to finger size would work just fine – but napkin rings done in a clean, modern sort of way. The tutorial, by Molly of Almost Makes Perfect, uses a paint wash for the decoration which just reminds me I should buy myself some more paints to play around with… the box of half used, partially dried craft paints just beg for some craft store shopping.

Ahem.

Because the tutorial is aiming for a faux ceramic, washed paint look the white or pale coloured base clay becomes important. If you’re going to use a scrap clay or dark clay base, be prepared to do a base layer of paint or for some different, perhaps cooler, results.

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.
