Mixing Polymer Clay and Macramé

February 12, 2016 by Elaine Robitaille

If you make jewellery you might have seen a little trend of knotted pieces in the last few years. Micro macramé, with dainty sized cords, great beads and fabulous findings. Leave it to Iris Mishly of PolyPedia Online to figure out how to mix it and clay though. Her most recent series of lessons combines knotting techniques and her great INKredible series of polymer clay surface techniques. She – pun intended – ties it all together with her regular variety of offerings.

You can nab the full deal – a mix of macramé and polymer clay goodness – in the section for that.
If you’re a clayer and would prefer just the clay you can go for that.
There’s even a couple of freebies to try out some of the techniques with.

Iris has kindly offered CraftGossip readers a discount coupon for the tutorials as well. Use ‘CraftGossip10‘ to get 10% off your purchase at checkout.

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.
