A clayer out there let me know about a mini course she’s offering, for free, about using molds with polymer clay. I happen to know from looking at the site stats that molds are one of the most popular topics with the polymer clayers on CraftGossip and there’s a good reason: molds are super useful with polymer clay.

And if you want a peek at what we’ve linked to about molds and polymer clay over the years, including some how-to use and how-to make your own here’s a good start. These include using common items as both innie and outie molds, using commercial molds, making your own molds from silicone or scrap clay and how to get better results with molded items.

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.
