1. So, introduce yourself!

Hi! My name is Ginger Gonzalez and I live in rural Indiana with my husband Jose, our 2 cats and a little dog Chuy. We are the happy parents of 1 son and we have 2 grandkiddos.

2. Why do you work with polymer clay?

I am a lifelong crafter and haven’t met a craft I didn’t try. Which is really great because all the skills I have learned over the years doing lots of crafts overlap and many work great with polymer clay.

The reason I choose to work with polymer clay is that it has so many applications that are only limited by the imagination. This is perfect for me because I am always teaching myself something new and polymer clay often finds it way into what ever I am doing at the time. I can’t think of a more versatile medium.

3. Is there a reoccurring theme in your projects?

You bet ya I am obsessed with flowers they find their way into many of the things I make.

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.
