Polymer Clay Beads

August 5, 2013 by Elaine Robitaille

I’m treating myself – I stared at beads this Monday. Polymer clay beads are pretty much my thing – particularly beads with canework – and these are some lovely ones.

Please give the artists who made the beads in the above photographs, credit. And include their websites as well. You may want to ask for permission to include other Artists work on your site. Just to be safe. 🙂

Hi Marla! I agree with you completely that work should be credited and linked so these all are (and I try to for works I use as much as possible for promotion on this site).
These are all directly linked to precisely where the items may be found on Flickr where they are all in the artists’ own photostreams or sites. The tool that creates these collages doesn’t add a secondary byline for the artists but does link directly to the artists work so if folks click on through they can peruse the Flickr photos and if they look further they can look at the artists linked profiles which, sometimes, do include their off-Flickr sites.
Artists who prefer their work to not be used in this sort of promotion should use Flickr’s tools to remove their images from the use with link (as these are) attribution license terms. If you need an image removed of yours or a colleague does, please let me know which and when and I can help with that.

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.
