Make Yourself a Mini Christmas Tree

I admit it. I like my miniatures. Here’s a video tutorial for making a simple but stable Christmas tree mini from polymer clay. Once you have the tree, you can add decorations or a little skiff of snow to it. The video tutorial by KustomFu uses what looks like a golf tee for the base but use what you need for the scale of your very own little pine tree.

The resulting tree is nice and cartoony but with a fair amount of branch detail to it. Your little clay birds or tiny clay presents would be perfect with this.

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.
