Polymer Clay

Fimo and clay tips and tutorials

Solar Powered Fairy House

by

This mixed media project uses Mod Podge clay which is a dimensional glue more than a clay. You can shape and mold it but I find it works best in projects like this near solar powered light/fairy house project by Carissa of Creative Green Living.

If I built up this project I’d probably make the fairy door and at least a few of the stones from oven bake polymer clay and then use the Modge Podge as a kind of texturable grout to add stones and decorations to but also embellish. Modge Podge makes very cute molds to go with their clay and these work as texture tools as well as molds.

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.
