Here’s an interesting take on faux leather from syndee holt, for Sculpey. It uses Soufflé clay which has a nice, suede like texture and some pretty great colours. I’ve gotten more into it – I really like their grey and light, light brown and the colour they call turnip – and I’ve even used it for canework. This is a fun faux leather though and you could totally cover other objects than a box lid. My favourite faux leather with clay was making the covers for a notebook. I simply took apart a larger ring spiral bound sketchbook, covered the plain cardstock covers in faux leather clay sheets and stamped designs on the inside covers.

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.
