Polymer Clay Buttons

May 29, by heather powers. 6 Comments

Functional and Stylish!  I found a fun collection of buttons on Flickr this week.  Buttons are simple to make and can be made using any techinque you already know.

Buttons can be created by piercing two or more holes, adding a jump ring on the back, you can use metal or glass buttons to cover with polymer clay or you can use the button shanks from fabric stores.

Want to know more:

And if you want to know everything about polymer clay buttons, ask a wise owl. (or at least a Mossy one!)

POP! – Perspectives on Polymer

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.
