Bangles, Cuffs & Dangles

June 18, 2008 by heather powers

The bigger the bracelet the better this season. With polymer clay you can add volume without weight. Here is a collection of some bracelets from flickr to get your creative gears turning.

Polymer clay can stand on it’s own as a bangle, in tiles for a large cuff, pair up with other beads, as a focal or dangles.  You can’t go wrong with a little polymer around the wrist.

A few bracelet tutorials:

    I’ve really been in the mood to try and make a few bangles lately – this may be just the push I need! I love #12, especially.

    Me too Lisa! I just love the shape and colors of #10, though I would be thrilled to have anyone of them on my wrist!

    I made a cuff & it broke right away. I don’t c how these cuff bracelets can b sturdy enough 2 wear everyday. I used Premo too, soooooo. It was at least 1/4″ thick, Maybe I need 2 put it on a metal base. What cha think?

    I don’t know if this is allowed here, but I wanted to let you all know that we sell aluminum cuff blanks at http://www.beadwork-supplies.com; ALOT of folks are using them with polymer clay! If this is deemed inappropriate to comment, please remove or disregard….not meaning to offend anyone with an advertisement, just genuinely want to help….Cindy

    I have found that baking my polymer clay cuffs on the cuff blanks is very helpful.

POP! – Perspectives on Polymer

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.
