CF Originals

Inspired by science fiction writers of a bygone era such as Jules Verne, you can find many definitions and descriptions for the artistic and literary style known as “Steampunk” on the internet. The Brass Goggles website, “a blog and forum devoted to the lighter side of all things steampunk” has a brief FAQ here.

Clay artists have begun to experiment in this genre, playing with the typical steampunk elements such as the use of gears and lots of aged brass. Christi Friesen has a free steampunk heart tutorial on her projects and downloads page here.

Eugena’s Creations on ArtFire has a tutorial available for a gorgeous SteamPunk and Filigree Butterfly made with polymer clay and resin here.

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.
