I’m a bit of a magpie. I tend to collect beads and shiny findings as I go with the idea of using them at sometime. Maybe. I’m betting more than a few of you can identify with that.

I have a variety of ring bases with all sorts of bezels. Most of them aren’t nifty sterling ones like the ones in this Martha Stewart article on polymer clay rings but it’s one of those projects I should really give a shot. You can fill ring bezels with all sorts of great pieces right from the simple impressed pieces in this tutorial up to the most fabulous sculpted miniature designs to blingy crystal clay sparkle ball variants.

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.
