Marbled Clay Hearts for Valentine’s Day

by

Sam, from ColorMadeHappy, has a great project for Valentine’s gifts. The marbled hearts are perfect examples of just how nice of an effect you can get with simple materials and techniques. Add your little arrow to your heart for the extra touch.

You could give the heart as it is or turn it into a hanging ornament by adding an embedded jump ring before you bake it. Add some initials for you and your recipient. And marbled clay projects are great for the kids because they generally looks pretty good without a lot of extra fussing.

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.
