Fimo and clay tips and tutorials

A Colorful Welcome to Polymer Clay

by

Polymer clay, you’ve seen it at the craft store - that crayon box of colors staring out at you.  Did you know that’s just the beginning of color possibilities with polymer clay?  You can mix polymer clay with the same color theories that are used in painting with unlimited color combinations.  But where to start if you are not a color mixing expert? 

Fimo provides a chart of 100 colors (PDF) to blend using a simple formula.  You can substitute your favorite brand of clay since they all start with close to the same basic colors.

I’m glad you’ve found my new blog. I’m excited to share my 14 years of polymer clay experience with the Craft Gossip readers! If you have a question, comment or some polymer clay gossip to share, email me!

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.
