Polymer Clay Mod Squares

I’m a caner, I admit it. And there’s a lot of us in the polymer clay world. Some people do more pattern and geometric ones than I ever will have a good grip on and this mod square inspired one by Dora Arsenault is a goodie from a few years ago. Her blog has a variety of good cane work examples and tutorials to check out.

This is a good one to start with since you can use fairly straight forward colours without blending or an extruder. If you’re careful about rolling with guides, you could even do this one without a pasta machine.

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.
