Karen Walker’s bright, appealing clay buttons make a fun, stylish addition to your accessories. Ranging from classic round buttons to quirky ladybirds, toadstools and Russian dolls, you are sure to find something to bring a little fun to your hat, scarf, or handbag. Try them out as charms or attach them to greetings cards or scrapbook pages.

Such a great way to customize a handmade piece of clothing or toy too. These clay buttons are great little sellers at Craft booths and stalls too.

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.
