Here’s another take on a “ring dish” made from polymer clay – this coffee table tray from FallForDIY. Depending on the size of your shape you bake on, you could go up to quite a large size with clay. Past 10 or 12 inches in diameter, I’d start looking for a layer of bulk or armature for the inside since big, thin clay will be flexible and require a lot of clay. Even a cardboard or foil form, sandwiched well between sheets of clay would meet the criteria for this.

Make your base colour and inclusions work with your space by using a complementary or neutral colour for the base with accent colours for the details. White with metallic bits would be a good look as well.

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.
