One Ring to Rule Them All

by

RingsOkay, so maybe at the end of the weekend you won’t be sitting in a corner petting your latest creation, murmuring “My precious.” But here is some inspiration for creating your own rings in polymer clay. 

There are many ways to make a ring using polymer clay.  Some of them include using a ring as the base and covering it completely with clay, using ring blanks, creating a ring from sterling silver or PMC or wire-wrapping a base.  Click on the photo to see the images in greater detail.

Here are the directions for wire-wrapping a ring base.

You can find ring blanks on Etsy.

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.
