I’ve always loved how terrariums can feel like small little worlds, and Thyrza Segal adds a whimsical touch with polymer clay to her unique terrariums.  The interplay between her polymer clay sculpts and the carefully chosen plants is a definite treat!

  2. Hi and thanks for the blog entry! I do have a lot of fun making these things- as you can see. It sure has been a great learning experience too as I find out what plants work best in what environments. I was initially inspired by Paula Hayes but could not refrain from kistching them up with polymer clay alien figurines. I have a background in set and costume design for theatre so I think that is what compels me to make up these little organic dioramas. I like to think up different stories for each character and what they are doing as I am putting them together…Like the girl above is waiting for whatever gets caught in the Venus Fly Trap so she can extract it and eat it for lunch-maybe save some for her little brother if he isn’t being too much of a brat.

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.
