Garden and Pot Charms

by

It’s a little early to be planning garden decorations here. We’re just coming out of a truly cold spell so I’m going to indulge myself a little by looking at spring projects like these garden charms from Patti of Hearth and Vine.

This same project would make excellent herb markers with herb names instead of inspirational words. Add a few layers of clear coat to keep the painted elements from getting grimy and washed out if you use these outdoors.

I do not have a green thumb at all, in fact, I have been known to ruin a plastic plant (long story) but  I do love how calm and serene it can be working in a quiet garden.

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.
