Ponsawan, of Silastones, is finally able to bring her daughter home from the hospitals and rehabs. If you haven’t been following Ada’s progress, she was in a terrible wreck and nearly lost her life when a drunk driver hit her car. Ponsawan has been at her side nearly everyday and hasn’t been able to create her fascinating polymer clay jewelry on a regular basis. Well, she’s on the ball once again, much to her relief !! If you love to create with polymer clay, you know how antsy you can get when you aren’t able to get your hands into it and make something. Imagine not being able to clay for almost 5 months.

Congratulations on the homecoming Ada and Ponsawon, you have been missed by many.

I’ll be back later today with more from the world of polymer clay ………..

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.
