I make dainty little ring bowls, adorned with flower canes, for my shows. In fact, they’re easily one of my most popular items. Here’s a dad catch all dish from Jenny of Habitat at Home. She uses an existing bowl as a mold which gives you a nicely finished side and paint to get the colours of choice. You could use whatever clay you’d prefer or whichever colours. Get the kidlets to decorate and make it into a Father’s day gift.

In the comments, they mention fumes from the clay. This shouldn’t happen if you bake at the correct temperature and times but all ovens vary. Bake your work in an old pan or roaster. Use aluminum foil or a lid to cover over. Open the pan outside. It will keep the potential fumes contained.

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.
