Polymer Clay Holiday Gift Guide – Be In It !

by

Ilysa and Kira of Polymer Clay Productions are calling for entries to put in a Holiday gift guide featuring polymer clay artists. The entries will be shared with viewers in a Polymer Clay Productions podcast & TV episode. It’s a wonderful way to get people thinking about buying handmade polymer clay items for this holiday season. It’s never too early to promote your work and this is a great way to get your work “out” there for the public to see.

They are hoping to get enough entries for the following categories: jewelry, housewares, wearables (not jewelry), table top centerpieces, ornaments, hostess gifts and cards. If anyone has any suggestions for other categories you are welcome to contact Ilysa.

If you would like to participate in the gift guide, send in 2-3 photos each of 3-5 different items that you would like to promote to [email protected] . Please include a link to your website or Etsy shop. She will use as many as she can.

She is also looking for artists who want to send actual product to be seen on the show, these items will NOT be returned but will be used as holiday prizes to audience members, you will receive a link to your shop and if you send a bio we may use some info from there as well. If your item is used on the show we will give you credit in the show credits so that the listeners & viewers can find your shop. You can also include your business cards and any other info about the products you send. They have around 30,000+ listeners and viewers come to their site every month not including that they are on You Tube, Google Video, I Tunes, Yahoo video, Blip TV, Flickr Video and about 300+ other places. They are listened to and watched around the world.

Ilysa will need the photos and products in the next month to give her time to organize everything. Anyone sending products should get it to her as soon as possible too. Please let her know if you are interested by sending an e-mail to [email protected] .

Please send product entries (not photos) to :

Etsy Feature – Moth Pottery Template for Slab Building

Sometimes clay tools feel more like magic than equipment, and this Moth Pottery Template definitely falls into that category. One moment you’re working with a flat slab, and the next you’re holding a detailed, sculptural moth that looks like it could flutter right off your table.

Why This Template Caught My Eye

This design stands out because it combines structure with artistry. The template gives you the clean, symmetrical base of the moth form, but once you have that shape cut, the real fun begins—adding textures, underglazes, or even metallic accents to bring the wings to life.

It’s ideal for slab-builders who want to go beyond mugs and bowls and dive into more decorative or sculptural projects.

What Makes It Special

  • Unique Subject: How often do you see a pottery moth? It’s an instant conversation starter.

  • Sculptural Yet Simple: The template does the tricky work, leaving you free to decorate.

  • Wall Art or Table Décor: Finished moths look stunning hung on a wall, framed, or displayed on a shelf.

  • Room for Creativity: Paint with bright colors, earthy neutrals, or even metallics for different vibes.

Ideas for Makers

  • Use glossy glazes with shimmering metallic accents for a celestial-style moth.

  • Keep it natural and muted for a woodland-inspired look.

  • Make a series of moths in different colors and sizes for a gallery wall effect.

  • Turn smaller versions into pendants or ornaments.

Why Makers Will Love It

Templates like this are inspiring because they bridge the gap between functional pottery and decorative art. It’s not just about making something useful—it’s about making something memorable. And let’s be honest, it’s the kind of piece guests will immediately comment on when they spot it in your home.

You can grab it here: Moth Pottery Template for Slab Building on Etsy.

This spotlight is part of my Etsy Feature series, where I highlight clay templates and tools that push creativity beyond the basics. If you’re ready for a project that feels both bold and whimsical, this moth template will absolutely deliver.
