Cruisin’ with Polymer Clay

bc3.JPGNever have enough time for your favorite hobby?  Need a vacation?  Why not mix both on a crafting cruise!

Check out the following:

Polymer Paradise with Lisa Pavelka, sails next April with classes from Christie Friesen, Desiree McCrorey and Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg.

Clay Carnival Ahoy ’08 with Donna Kato and Carnival Clay instructors Leslie Blackford, Kim Cavender, Cathy Johnston, Sue Kelsey, Jacqueline Lee.  Their adventure is planned for late October 2008.

Both of these cruises have some of the top instructors in the field of polymer clay.  Lisa and Donna have both taught on the Carol Duvall Craft Cruise and have put together dream vacations for polymer clay enthusiasts.

Love beads as much as your clay, why not mix both? Visit Bead Cruise 2008.  This will be my third annual event as the organizer of the official Bead Cruise. Joining me are Marcia DeCoster, Eni Oken, Rachel Nelson-Smith and Beverly Herman.  We take our beads to the high seas early March.  While beads are the focus of this cruise, there are still a few spaces open in my polymer clay beadmaking class.  There will be beadmaking demos in the evenings along with dedicated space for our polymer clay addicts!

No matter which cruise appeals to you, crafting and cruising make a perfect vacation.  Along with the classes and making wonderful new friends, you are treated like royalty on the ships.  And did I mention there is food 24 hours a day and tropical islands involved?  What could be more perfect?

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.
