Polymer Clay

Fimo and clay tips and tutorials

Day of the Dead Cat Sculpture

I’d probably do this one in Premo rather than Sculpey III but it’s still a fun project – a black cat with a Day of the Dead paint job. The tutorial is by Joanne G Garcia for Sculpey. The black cat alone would be great for a Halloween project – paint eyes or add clay ones. Add some other Halloween details like a little pumpkin or a cobweb. You could probably make a little stack of these for Halloween window decorating.

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.
