For polymer clay cane makers “lace” is a type of cane. Often it’s a bullseye cane reduced and recombined to achieve an effect that is lace like. The picture above shows an orchid style flower I made this summer with a lace cane used in the petals. The following tutorials show examples of making lace canes.

PolymerClayCentral’s Lace Cane
Faux Fossilized Agatized Coral I never got my attempt to look like the example but always ended up with the neatest pieces anyways…

With the upcoming Valentines Day and the focus on sweet, romantic pieces I could totally see a candy pink heart with a lace cane design.

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.
