Polymer Clay Erasers

by

One of the nifty niche clays is Sculpey eraser clay. The clay comes in a few colours and some kits, complete with project sheets and makes a reasonable eraser as long as you don’t over bake it. Over curing it makes it much less eraser-y and much firmer. Sculpey offers a few eraser clay projects as well like this watermelon.

Eraser clay would make nifty projects for the kiddo heading back to classes in your house. Let them create a custom eraser (or set of erasers). Make pencil toppers from eraser clay or pencil case charms so the erasers don’t disappear quite as fast.

Comments

  1. Havé tried and hate it. It doesn’t erase well.Love using that clay to make molds or mixed with regular clay to make strings of clay.

  2. I didn’t have great luck when I cured it for longer than the directions – which I do with all the other clays – but got something somewhat eraser-y when I followed the directions.

    The kids had fun with it in classes and I used the scraps for molds later.

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.
