Frosty Goodness

February 17, 2008 by heather powers

New color?Â No, just a new name.Â Premo’s Frost used to be known as bleached translucent.

“Considered by many artists and crafters to be the clearest of all the translucent clays, it’s great on its own for layered applications and faux stones, and is especially useful in mokumeÂ gane, transfer techniques, and faux techniques such as “amber” or “dichroic glass.” This unique clay is also reactive with black lights, especially when mixed with fluorescent colors.

It resists ambering (discoloration) and plaquing (mooning and spots).” (Quote from the Dick Blick website)

I have read that it can have a slight bluish tint, so experiment with it first!

Heather, where did you find the image for the 2 oz. package of Frost? As far as we (folks at PCC) can tell, it’s only sold in one pound packages.
Thanks,
Sharon

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.
