I’m a fantasy, sci fi buff. My first serious foray into crafting was selling my fantasy inspired pictures, paintings and wire jewellery. The chance to make items just like my drawings was a serious motivational factor for learning how to make clay beads and do millefiori. I’ve been working on adding back some of those fantasy elements to my work – they tie in nicely with the nature theme – and as a result I’ve been browsing. A lot. Here are some of the talented folks also working along the same path on Etsy:

Nautical Necklace by Barbarasartistry

Goth Heart Pendant by CryingCrow

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.
