As I get into the groove, making little food charms – not quite as small as scale miniatures which is a whole other art form – to add to finished pieces for my show, I’m having a blast. There’s a pie tutorial that uses bottle caps for the pie tin on Instructables, by The Clay Crafter. It’s simple and very effective.

I also made chocolates, based loosely on this tutorial. The tutorial is in Vietnamese and in a format Google won’t translate for me but the pictures are fairly clear for clayers with some experience. The artist does a great job with the presentation of their fake chocolates which is a big part of the game.

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.
