The newest additions to Lisa Pavelka’s texture stamp line will be debuting at next month’s Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee.  “Steampunk Innie” and “Steampunk Outie” sheets will be a great addition to your texture toolbox!

Lisa says:

“They can be used on polymer and metal clays as well as air dry compounds, paper and fabric. I’ve been playing with the prototypes and certain elements are perfects for making your own hardware and Steampunk components from metal and polymer clays. Many cavities work well for Sutton Slice and Mica Shifted elements with polymer clays.”

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.
