One of the best resources on the web for polymer clay miniatures is the incredible resource that Nora Jean provides with her sites. I’m linking to the guava tute but she has literally dozens (probably hundreds) of tutorials scattered throughout her sites. It’s well worth a look and poke.

A bit of background here is that while I’m a caning and beads sort of clayer my daughter is a miniatures loving clayer. Pretty much all the miniatures I’ve attempted have been to curry favour with my kiddo but as with all things clay the techniques apply across the board. Caning is used extensively in minis, careful construction and “faux” everything is used in bead making.

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.
