As someone who makes and sells jewellery at craft shows, I can tell you I’m all about finding clever displays. This one is billed as a good way to contain your home ring explosion but it would work equally well for shows.

The tutorial, by the Cheapishly blog, makes little ring cones from marbled clay. Marbled clay could be pretty mixes of scraps, making this great for using up some scraps, as well, since this project is solid clay. If you go the solid clay routine, make sure you account for the bake time necessary. If you’d rather use less clay (or bake time) make a shape from tightly compacted aluminum foil and wrap it with a layer of prettily marbled clay.

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.
