Iris Mishly is one of those talented, kind people you luck into meeting on the internet sometimes. She’s been publishing fabulous polymer clay tutorials for years, some free, some pay. One issue is that they’ve often been in big blocks of projects which makes them deservedly a little pricier and a lot more info in one spot.

Her newest project is an express version of her popular tutorials. The larger projects have been broken down into the individual techniques and projects for bite sized learning. You can find the tutorials and tools for them all on her new site at PolyPediaOnlineExpress. She even has a couple freebies and offers on there so have a look!

I dug around and grabbed one of my favourite looking projects (the brocade “purse” picture above) I’ve seen friends make from the PolyPedia in the past. Isn’t that just a neat idea?

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.
