Tutorial: Cufflinks for Dad

Of course, this one isn’t limited to Father’s Day – I’m pretty sure I wear cuff links on my fancy blouses more than my guy does – but the combo of a nice shirt and cuff links is good and a change up from the nice shirt and tie. This tutorial is super simple stuff! If you have it, I’d use a compatible clay varnish like Varathane rather than nail polish since some of the nail polishes react badly with clay over time. And since I have the whole stack of tools, I’d probably roll a sheet of clay and go that way. It’s one of those tutorials you can build up from.

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.
