Polymer Clay

Fimo and clay tips and tutorials

DIY Photo Holder

by

Vanessa shared a tutorial on My Printly for DIY photo holders. The holder uses a chunk of marbled clay that is then faceted. A wire holder is made from a length of wire (pick a fun colour to go with your marbled piece). The clay chunk is faceted – use a much sharper blade than a butter knife to get a good facet – and everything is baked.

Vary your clay and wire colours to make a set of photo holders for your office. These also make good sign or place card holders for your events.

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.
