Book Review – Twenty to Make: Tasty Trinkets : Polymer Clay Food Jewellery

by

Charlotte Stowell shows how to make food-themed polymer clay beads using modelling techniques, and how to make them up into fun and attractive jewellery. First there is advice about the few simple tools and the basic techniques needed to make the beads, including instructions on texturing and varnishing the beads to create realistic food models. We then learn to make really striking jewellery such as a chilli charm, cup cakes brooch, dolly mixtures necklace, burger bracelet, fondant fancies earrings, and much more. Step by step instructions and detailed close-up photographs make the projects easily achievable. Where necessary, the constituent parts of the beads are shown with the instructions, and annotated for clarity, then the finished jewellery is pictured in all its splendour. People who like fun and funky jewellery, as well as foodies, will love these polymer clay projects.

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.
