Extruder Mokume Gane

by

Kristie Foss did a little experimenting with her extrusions and worked up an extruder mokume gane. The extruded parts are made into the mokume gane slab and you take shavings off that. The key here would be to load your extruder with colours that work together so that when you slice into your slab the shavings work together. Add your shavings to a sheet of clay and then use the sheet to build your piece whether that’s pendants or pens.

  1. Thanks for spreading my version of extruded mokume gane. Yes, the bits I shaved off were placed on backgrounds and used as separate sheets for other projects. This is one of those “no left-overs” project methods – and it’s lots of fun, too. ~Kristie Foss

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.
