Simple Clay Leaf Canes

by

Katie from KatersAcres has a pretty simple leaf cane tutorial available on her site. The most complicated part is probably getting a decent blend but once you’ve got that… this is just some slice and assembling.

Want to make it a little fancier? Add an outline wrap. Use similar colours to what you use for the veins. Or do the blend with a variety of fall colours and use all the resulting cane(s) in a piece. Use cane slices as beads, or slice thinly and build up an image along with other canes.

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.
