Need to take better pictures of your polymer clay work?Â I posted a few tips on my blog the other day.Â Here is just a quick before and after shot of some of my beads.Â Natural lighting is the key!

These photos were taken using an Ott Lite and color corrected in photoshop.

These were taken next to a window on a textured metal surface. TheyÂ look exactly like my beads, with hardly any Photoshop help.Â I may have darkened the contrast just a touch.Â Photos taken in natural light are much more appealing to me.Â Where the ones taken with the lamp feel artificial and stale, the natural light ones have life and a freshÂ quality to them.

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.
