Tutorial: Saturn Beads from Clay

Ever found Saturn beads? Nested beads where the outer rings rotate around an inner disk bead? This is a tutorial for a clay version. These are only very slightly related on the space theme but they’re neat visually – especially if you make multiple, nested rings – and the rings do turn, just like the ones around Saturn. PCPolyzine was one of the first places I took a peek at when I got going with clay online and it’s still a good place to find tutorials and info.

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.
