Stacker bead tutorial

by

Ovenfried BeadsAmy of Ovenfried Beads has made a tutorial for her famous Stacker Beads. And it’s free! How’s that for generous? Here are her exact words –

” Hey folks…….

Ok I just can’t keep it to myself any longer.  In the event I should croak before I’m an old old lady, I want people to keep making them. All I ask is that credit is given where it’s due.  I could have gone the marketing/selling/making money route, but every time I use a technique I learned from someone who gave it away, I think of the Stacker bead and how many folks can learn it.  I hope that someone can use the technique for other items, and have it evolve into something better.

Don’t forget to give her credit if you use her tutorial to make and/or sell you own beads from it – it’s the proper thing to do 🙂

Happy Claying !!!

  1. Love your stacker beads. I recently bought a ripple blade and have been going crazy with it. I’ve tried to make a cane (after going through what I have left) but I just can’t get it right! Will take a look at your tutorial.

  2. Love, love, your Stacker Beads. Every time I click on the link for the technique I get nothing. Would you send me a good link. Thank you. Brenda

  3. I’ve contacted Amy concerning her Stacker Beads instructions. She never got back with me at all. I do know that she took her website down. Are my chances of getting the info dead? Please help.

  4. yes, please tell us if there is a way to get the pattern. the link you gave no loner works.

    thanks

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.
