Jessica of Cutesy Crafts has a simple heirloom project: fingerprint ornaments. She discusses how even well conditioned Fimo Soft was too firm for her kiddos to use but I’d still recommend it or Sculpey 3 for kids anyways. Younger kids – say toddlers and preschoolers – may not be able to get neat results with this sort of project without a great deal of help but they have the cutest little fingers so it’s probably worth the try.

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.
