Hi Heather, Thanks for your wonderful post. I am truly blessed to be a member of the Rhode Island polymer clay guild, a group of talented, sharing, inspirational women. We meet once a month to share stories, new projects, demos and delicious food!

I’m interested in joining a local guild, in the Richmond, VA area, but I can’t figure out how to tell if there is a guild here or not. I must be missing something on the IPCA website. 🙁

Hi Mary! I had a look at the IPCA site as well and it’s a bit confusing – there’s a Northern Virginia guild but I don’t see any contact info for it.
I would actually contact the guild liason Kathi (sweet lady!) and ask for help – http://www.theipca.org/index.php/component/contact/?task=view&contact_id=24
or post on the forum board at polymer clay central and see who else is from the area and if there is an established guild for the area.

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.
