No, really! It’s diving bacon (albeit undercooked)! It even has a working air tank.

This little piggy was created by Singapore’s artist and designer, Garie Sims. Sims is a “Designer of all Trades”. Besides modeling and sculptural arts, his background includes Architectural and Interior design, display arts, and cartooning which are among a very wide array of interests. After more than twenty years of playing with all kind of clays, Garie settled down creating all his miniatures in polymer clay. His love of polymer clay isn’t limited to miniatures, he loves to teach also. Garie set up the Play Clay School, teaching young kids in Singapore to develop their fine motor skills, improve hand and eye coordination and hopes to cultivate and develop, young creative talents in the the local community. His hopes of creating more talents is that it will bring about changes in perception and appreciation of local artists in the Singapore community.

Stop by his site today for some great inspiration and a few smiles. You’ll be glad you did 🙂

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.
