This sort of texture tool is one I’ve made from polymer clay before – stick a button or other texture-y item to the end of a log of clay, bake, and voila texture stick. It’s a little more clever (and neatly done) with the strung buttons providing a method for the buttons holding on to the clay.

Like Jamey of Dabbles & Babbles, I tried a pottery class a few years ago and fell in love with mud. While I don’t do it as much as I do polymer clay, I’ve used a lot of my polymer clay tools with my pottery clay. What little contamination occurs is a matter of rinse – with the mud – or ignore – with the polymer clay – and let the kiln burn the crumbs off.

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.
