Polymer clay flowers and pearl necklace by Barb Fajardo.

The Art Bead Scene is hosting a new monthly challenge for June.  The theme this month is Pearls of Wisdom.  Along with the chance to be a featured designer, (the latest featured designer is a polymer clay artist!) this month one lucky winner will receive a signed copy of Lisa Kan’s new beading book, Bead Romantic.

So grab those polymer clay beads and your pearls to whip up something to enter! 

Or you might use this as a chance to pull out the Pearl Ex powders and try a new technique.  Here are few polymer clay and pearl powder projects to get you started.

  1. I have to say that Barb is a true artist. I enjoyed her work for quite some time. Her floral beads are great. She also makes the most beautiful lentil beads I have ever seen.

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.
