Glow In The Dark Polymer Clay

I got myself… er, the kids!… a bunch of glow in the dark polymer clay to use for upcoming polymer clay classes and went out to look for ideas. We’ll be doing something Halloween themed for the October class but it occurs to me glow in the dark would be great for the spacey mobile project I do with the kids in the spring space unit. RainbowFox, of Instructables, has a project using GITD clay to embellish a switchplate cover which is a great idea.

  1. I actually did use the glow in the dark clay with a sutton slice piece, on navy blue clay. I’m not sure why I really didn’t expect any ‘glow’, but it did! And after I turned out the lights in my craft area, there was the rest of the package, glowing happily on my desk. And then I discovered that some of the scraps were glowing in my scrap jar…! Forget the kids, grab some of this clay and PLAY!

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.
