This little ornament has a bunch of my faves: polymer clay, a miniature vignette, tiny polymer clay foods and a creative mix of media. Nicole, from Tikkido, put it together with craft store wood blanks, polymer clay, twine, store bought miniatures and other goodies. I like that she also mentions that the hot glue just doesn’t do the trick for assembling your polymer clay items – you need to use a stronger glue for that.

Want your gingerbread “cookies” to smell sweet for a bit? When you mix up the clay to use, mix in a little of your gingerbread spices or a drop of vanilla. Voila, you will have scented cookies for a little while.

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.
