Make Clay Christmas Trees

This is one of those simple little photo tutorials that abounds on Pinterest. I would use a core of foil for my tree so that the base stuck in better and you saved on clay and curing time. The scissors method for making branches also makes great chive flowers, chrysanthemums, tufts of hair and so on on your sculpted clay pieces. Don’t want cut branches? Attach little nubs of clay beginning at the bottom of the tree shape and attaching one end of the branch or stubby piece of clay to the tree base. Keep adding up the tree until you have enough branches.

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.
