20 Creative Clay Tutorials

by

This roundup is all about clay, from FIMO clay to Air drying clay. No matter what the medium all these tutorials can be adapted to suit the clay you are using.

As a kid, we all played with play dough and made incredible creations out of this simple dough. While it was fun to make something, then tear it apart and do it all over again, clay is like the grown-up version of play dough. While playdough is still an enjoyable activity for your kids to play with, there are many more things you can make using clay! These ideas are perfect for a quick DIY around your home, a gift, or something for your older kids to do! These are just as easy to do and you could even use play dough for your little ones for some of these. Here are the best creative clay DIYs. Check out our tutorial on making your own white Porcelain Ceramic clay.

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.
