Polymer Clay Pens

I know it’s a little early to be thinking back to school but maybe not. Then again, you don’t really need an excuse to make a stack of polymer clay pens. This post, a guest post by Suzy of SuzysSitcom for Kenarry, not only goes over how to cover a basic stick pen but also the basic canes that work great for this.

This sort of project is always a favourite with my kids and my adult classes. We all make spiral, stripe and bullseyes and then cover pens. Depending on the age range you can encourage coordinating or complimentary colour usage but my experience is you tend to get a lot of bright variants. And fun pens.

POP! – Perspectives on Polymer

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.
