Fimo and clay tips and tutorials
For a fun project – a bit of a spin on the regular Easter eggs – here’s a shaker egg project. A few notes: In the tutorial it says to check if your egg is oven-safe. That means, pop it on your baking sheet in the oven and make sure it doesn’t deform in the first half of your baking time or so. Also, make sure your beads for the shaking sound are glass or some other non-melting material.
I make these covered in canes. Works just as sweet!
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.
