It’s finally beginning to snow here, a little, and we’re considering putting up our Christmas tree. Ornaments are one of my favourite things to make from clay and snowflakes make great, slightly fancy, projects to do. Cookie cutter ornaments, like the ones in this tutorial from Remodelando la Casa are simple enough for the kids to do well with and effective enough for adults. This style of ornament also makes an excellent gift tag – use a paint pen to write a greeting on one side, tie on to the gift and voila… a gift tag.

For snowflakes in particular use sparkly clays like Premos Frost White Glitter. It makes fabulous snow things.

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.
