Little Bowls for Mother’s Day

by

This is a Mother’s Day project for the younger set – little ring dishes embellished to look like flowers or starry skies. These are made from Model Magic, a really great air dry material from Crayola. It’s fun, easy to clean up, can be painted or coloured with markers with ease or bought in colours. Little bowls like these will make sweet trinket dishes and need a minimum of crafting.

If your kiddos are a little older or patient, you could use oven bake polymer clay. The star stickers could be swapped out for glitter or star shaped confetti – just bake it into the clay, it won’t melt – and you could make the flower bowls with a huge variety of colours.

Whichever way your crafty kids go, make sure they sign and date the bottom so Mum can remember when this treasure was made.

Looking for air-drying clay? We highly recommend Das Air dry clay, we have been using this product for over 30 years. Check out their Das White Air drying clay and their Terracotta Air drying clay version for a natural pottery feel. For larger crafts we recommend buying your air drying clay in bulk

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.
