blueheart.JPGDid you see the announcement for Beadworks’ new contest, Bead Star?  Enter a jewelry design that uses simple stringing techniques and you could win some major prizes along with a trip for two to Bead Expo in Santa Fe next year!  The winning designs will be featured in Bead Star, a special edition magazine.  The winning designs will also be auctioned off to raise money for the American Heart Association. To read the rules visit the Bead Star website.  The deadline is May 6th, 2008. 

So there is not a polymer clay category, what’s an artist to do?  Well 25% of your design in any of categories can be polymer clay.  That means you can make an amazing focal bead with clay to fit any of the categories.  The heart category is open to any medium with the heart theme and that is another way for you to show off your polymer clay beadmaking skills.

Have fun and shine brightly polymer clay stars!

POP! – Perspectives on Polymer

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.
