1. So, introduce yourself!

I am Kathi Briefer-Gose and I live in Bakersfield, California with my wife. I found polymer clay after I was disabled at work and couldn’t work any more.

2. Why do you work with polymer clay?

Because it is so dang versatile and you can always mush it up and start over if you don’t like what you have. When we moved to our new house I was told I couldn’t have my glass studio inside the new house so it got moved to a small studio building. Well, there were days I couldn’t physically go out there and really needed something to do with my hands. And then…I found polymer clay and the rest is history.

3. Do you have a favourite technique?

My favorite technique is to shut off my head and let my creative muse take over. Sometimes the most amazing insane things happen when I do that. One that I like to share is my duck Channukiah(pic above)

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.
