Clayers Who Blog

February 26, 2012 by Elaine Robitaille

Here’s a little mix up of what I often put out on Sundays about the clay-verse. This Sunday, instead, I’ll give a shout out to some of the clay related blogs I enjoy:

PolymerClayDaily goes without saying. Visit Cynthia Tinapple each day for some of the best in polymer clay art
Carol Simmons blogs about many clay related items but her grasp of colour is amazing!
Maggie Maggio is another colour expert and not to be missed.
Lindly Haunani rounds out the list
Lisa Pavelka is currently doing a “365 Days of Lip Service” project on her blog so each day is a neat, clay related treat
CraftyGoat is the work of Angela Mabray and is chock full of good projects, reviews and absolute tons of hints and tips
Alice Stroppel is one of those wonderfully creative and genuinely nice people who also blogs regularly! Magic, I tell you
Lisa Clarke is a fellow clayer but she also indulges in her share of photography, geekery and fibre arts

Some of the friends I’ve met during my adventures learning about my art business, clay related artwork and the insanity that goes with it:

Tonja Lederman makes beautiful art, sells sweet supplies and writes tutorials
Iris Mishly is an Israeli artist who seems almost impossibly prolific to me! Scads of tutorials, beautiful work and blogs all the time
Cindy Lietz is a fellow Canadian clayer who runs a commercial, educational blog for clayers. There are tons of tidbits available for gleaning even if you’re not ready to hop all the way in
Cat Therien makes fabulous… well, pretty much everything. Canes and nail art are the main focus but I haven’t really seen her go wrong!

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.
