Clay Community

by

As I feel my way around here the first month I’m hoping to set it up so there are a variety of ways for everyone in the polymer clay community to get themselves featured. I’ve always valued the generousity and creativity of the polymer clay community so I think Sundays I will write quick plugs of what’s going on!

To get us started:

  • Iris Mishly‘s long running blog has been a source of news and chatting for clayers for a few years but her latest project, the Polypedia, turns a year old this month – check out the giveaway she has going on to celebrate! She also has a free video tutorial for a sweet holiday ornament to take a look at.

  1. I’m looking forward to reading about the polymer clay community – sometimes (maybe because I’m a bit of newbie) I feel like it’s all so scattered around the internet that I can’t keep up with all the new stuff, so it’ll be nice to come here for news *G*

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.
