Star Bright

star.JPGDo you see what I see?  A star ornament by Louise Fischer Cozzi (PDF) that calls for translucent clay, gold leaf paint and some holiday inspired text.  The example uses the words from “Twas the Night Before Christmas.”  You could use lines from your favorite holiday story, scripture, or just some merry and bright greetings. 

*I use Photoshop to create the text and reverse the image before printing it out.  Experiment with fonts and text sizes.

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.
