June 2009 edition of Polymer Cafe

April 28, 2009 by Julie Leir-VanSickle 2 Comments

The June edition of Polymer Cafe has achieved a very nice variety of projects!

There’s the unique use of a polymer clay covered ostrich egg to create a hot air balloon by Laura Schiller, the intriguing and personal mixed media story boxes by Maureen Carlson, and an organic and elegant necklace made with mosquito mesh by Iris Mishly. Lisa Renner and Tricia Dewey share an article on using alcohol inks on polymer clay to achieve some surprising results.

There are fantastic pictures of the 25 finalists in Staedtler, Inc’s “Bottles of Hope” challenge, and some truly stunning work in the Reader’s Gallery. I was also thrilled to see that the “Reflections” challenge results included work from the next generation of clayers! Seven year old Alex Buangsuwon’s work is showcased.

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.
