Polymer Clay

Fimo and clay tips and tutorials

Colourful in Canada

by

I taught a class on polymer clay in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories (in Canada) this weekend. One of my students had the cutest little bug pin on and when she said she’d bought it in the closest city I knew who’s work it had to be. I looked at the signature and I was right!

Wanda Shum is a talented polymer clay artist who makes colourful, whimsical caneworked pieces. She doesn’t update her blog often enough for the taste of us fans but if you’re sweet and like clay she may friend you on Facebook where she does share some of work from time to time.

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.
