Resin Clay Bracelet

A clay that I’ve had very little chance to try is resin clay. There’s a few brands out there and they mostly seem to work like air drying clay, curing at room temperature over a period of time.

The bangle project – a sample for Sheri Haab’s resin clay book – uses a former or armature for the bangle and nice colouring pencils to do the graffiti after the clay has cured. Sanding is like polymer clay sanding: wet sanding is safer.

If resin clay interests you, you should check out the book. Sheri Haab has many, many craft books to enjoy.

Looking for air-drying clay? We highly recommend Das Air dry clay, we have been using this product for over 30 years. Check out their Das White Air drying clay and their Terracotta Air drying clay version for a natural pottery feel. For larger crafts we recommend buying your air drying clay in bulk

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.
