Book Review – Faemaker : Making Fantasy Characters in Polymer Clay

April 22, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to fairy tales and fantasy…and the only thing better than reading about fairies is making them!” Here’s your guide to sculpting fantasy characters that are a little quirky, occasionally cranky and definitely fun. Dawn Schiller’s “oddfae” are gnarly little folk who are often mischievous and always fun to sculpt. In this book, you’ll learn Dawn’s secrets for shaping incredibly detailed and friendly (for the most part) little faces, hands and feet, poseable bodies, and true-to-life costumes.

* Learn about tools, special precautions and quick, simple techniques for working with polymer clay. * Follow along to create 9 characters step by step – Chrainn the elf, Ithe the ogre, Zylphia the witch and other fairy tale fugitives.

* Pick up useful and fun fae facts (such as Fetch the troll’s great weakness for sesame seeds).

Crank up your imagination, grab your sculpting tools and some clay, and find out who’s waiting for you inside. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be ready to bring to life original fae friends of your very own!

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.
